Our Mission
We’re committed to raising the awareness of teen suicide and mental illness by building a culture of Life Teammates®—where teens recognize the power they have to deliver hope, love, and understanding to each other.
Together, we are not just raising awareness, we are rewriting the narrative to make it ‘More than Okay to not be Okay’ – helping our kids talk about it, support each other, and improve their Will To Live - it’s powerful!
