Mental Health and Emergency Support.

The Ryan Bartel Foundation (“the Foundation”) focuses on youth suicide prevention, offering resilience building programs that help teens feel connected, have a sense of belonging, strengthen their emotional awareness, and develop healthy coping skills before mental health challenges escalate.

The Foundation does not employ licensed mental health professionals, does not provide clinical counseling, and is not a suicide hotline or crisis‑intervention service. 

If you or someone you know is experiencing emotional distress or considering self‑harm, you should immediately seek assistance from a qualified professional or emergency service. Assistance finding these services are available in our Resource Directory. While we welcome your participation on this site, professional help should always be contacted when needed.
