Mission: We are dedicated to preventing teen suicide by improving the lives and the 'Will To Live' of teenagers everywhere through education about mental health and encouraging them to recognize the love and hope that exists in each other. We accomplish this by:Raising Awareness of teen suicide in our community Increasing Education around mental illness and it's stigmaDelivery Hope to teens everywhere
Results: As of 2018, the Will to Live Foundation has raised over $1,000,000 through events and fundraisers that have been organized by the kids themselves. In doing this, these kids form what we call "life teammate bonds" where they recognize the power of hope they have in each other. It's easier to talk to a friend and we teach them to do just that. Putting the money back into the community:To date, well over 1,000 schools have had the Signs of Suicide (SOS) program implemented through funding by the Will To Live Foundation. Over 1,000,000 students have been "reached" through this program as well as our Life Teammates activities and events since the foundation's inception in 2010.
Target demographics: Raise the awareness of teen suicide in our communities
Direct beneficiaries per year: Over 1000 schools and over 1,000,000 teeenagers
Geographic areas served: Communities all over the country
Programs: Raising Awareness of Teen Suicide: Giving presentations to communities schools, families, churches, sports teams and others to raise the awareness of teen suicide in our communities and the fact that every 2 hours in America a teen takes their life - this needs to be talked about. Increasing Education around mental illness and it's stigma: Through education and awareness programs that work with professional organizations that help educate the communities of mental health issues and the fact that 1 in 6 of the teens in our lives suffer from depression or some other diagnosable mental illness that can lead to suicide. To Deliver Hope to teens everywhere through our LIFE TEAMMATES PROGRAMS AND SCHOLARSHIPS- that encourage the teens in our community to "talk about it" with each other - their friends and Life Teammates. Life is hard and sometime it takes a friends to help you navigate through the tough times.
