Suicide Prevention

Most suicides can be prevented if the struggling individual is aware that there is someone willing to listen.  The isolation surrounding suicidal ideation is a true stumbling block to reducing its occurrence. It is crucial that individuals find the necessary and correct resources to help them understand self-destructive coping mechanisms. 

Suicides have become the second-leading cause of death among teenagers in the United States.* 

We cannot afford to lose one more loved one to this epidemic!

Minding Your Mind offers a program to help students and teachers become educated on this very difficult and important topic. It includes trained clinicians to work with you to help answer the troubling questions that are so often too difficult to ask.

Through Minding Your Mind’s education programs, young adult speakers deliver a powerful and effective message of inspiration and hope based on their shared journeys in coping with a mental health issue. Their real life accounts help to reduce the stigma and destructive behaviors often associated with mental health issues.
