Preparing Your Senior for College: Make sure your teen knows how and where to find mental health support

Help our teens get through the rough times in their lives so they don’t get so overwhelmed or hopeless that they want to give up. 

With your help, we can spread acceptance, connection, resiliency and hope to our community and surrounding area and end the silence on suffering NOW!

OUR MISSION

To prevent youth suicide through awareness, upstream educational programs and activities that support and empower youth, families and the community at-large through acceptance, connection, resiliency and hope.

We're a 501.c.3 non-profit organization based in VA and all donations are tax deductible.
