LA Kings and ROWI Teen & Parent Wellness Centers Partner to Advance Youth Mental Health and Family Wellness
Partnership launches alongside June 16 grand opening of ROWI's new El Segundo location and will support youth mental health awareness through Junior Kings, the LA Kings High School Hockey League and community programming
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The LA Kings today announced a new multi-year partnership with ROWI Teen & Parent Wellness Centers, making the organization the Official Mental Health Partner of the NHL team. Brokered by AEG Global Partnerships, the new relationship brings together two organizations committed to supporting the mental health, resilience and overall well-being of young people and families across Southern California through education, community engagement and sport.
ROWI is the industry leader in teen mental healthcare and wellness, with locations throughout Southern California and San Diego.
The announcement coincides with the June 16 grand opening of ROWI's newest location at 801 Parkview Dr. N Suite #100, El Segundo, CA 90245. The celebration taking place from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony with community leaders, school partners, referral partners and mental health advocates. Representatives from the LA Kings, including President Luc Robitaille, team mascot Bailey, and members of the Ice Crew, will join ROWI executives and guests to commemorate the opening and celebrate expanded access to youth mental health resources and care for families throughout the region.
As a leading provider of mental health care, behavioral treatment and therapy services for children and teens ages 8-17 and their families, ROWI will work with the LA Kings to increase awareness around youth mental health, expand access to resources and encourage conversations that help reduce stigma and support emotional wellness. At the core of the partnership is a shared belief: Mental health is not a weakness – it is a strength.
"At the LA Kings, we recognize the important role sports organizations can play in supporting the health and well-being of the communities we serve," said Luc Robitaille, President of the Los Angeles Kings. "As a former player and a father, I know how important it is for our young people to have the support and resources they need to thrive. Mental health is a critical part of that, and ROWI is making a meaningful difference in the lives of young people and families every day. We are proud to welcome them as the Official Mental Health Partner of the LA Kings and look forward to working together to raise awareness, foster resilience and connect families with valuable resources both on and off the ice."
Through the partnership, ROWI will serve as an Official Partner of both the Junior Kings youth hockey development program and the LA Kings High School Hockey League, creating opportunities to engage young athletes and their families through educational programming, community events and outreach initiatives. The collaboration will also support the continued growth of ROWI's Win Within Mental Fitness Program, with the Kings serving as a supporting partner and helping elevate conversations around confidence, resilience and emotional well-being.
Additional partnership elements will include community activations, educational opportunities and collaborative programming featuring Kings personnel, alumni and other team representatives.
“We believe mental strength is just as important as physical strength – especially for young people navigating today’s challenges,” said Greg Feinberg, President of ROWI. “This partnership with the Los Angeles Kings allows us to meet families where they are, in their communities, and help redefine mental health as something to build, strengthen, and take pride in.”
The partnership will also create opportunities for speaking engagements, educational workshops and community-focused initiatives that combine ROWI's clinical expertise with the Kings' deep connection to youth athletes, families and local communities.
"One of our goals is to align with organizations that share our commitment to making a lasting impact beyond the game," said Josh Veilleux, senior vice president, AEG Global Partnerships. "ROWI's leadership in youth mental health and its dedication to supporting children, teens and families made this a natural fit. We are excited to work together to create programs and experiences that promote mental wellness and deliver meaningful value throughout our community."
The partnership officially kicks off during the June 16 grand opening celebration of ROWI's new El Segundo location, marking the beginning of a shared commitment to advancing youth mental health awareness, education and support for families across Southern California. By combining ROWI’s clinical expertise with the Kings’ deep community presence, the partnership represents a powerful step forward in making mental wellness more visible, accessible, and embraced across the region.
