Our approach
Our Mission
Using awareness and education we empower individuals and organizations to save lives by fostering mental well-being with a focus on compassion, connection, and conversation.
Whether it is a reassuring conversation, education, professional training, or simply the assurance that they are not alone, we want to build a community for everyone to educate themselves and find support that meets them where they’re at as quickly as possible.
Our Vision
A world where individuals are empowered with the knowledge, skills, and support needed to recognize, address, and advocate for mental health and reduced suicide rates.
Our entire team wants to see a world where every individual struggling in any way feels able to reach out and has people who’ll support them. We want to spread out in every region so we’ll be reachable to all.
