SUPPORT PROACTIVE SUICIDE PREVENTION
Give the Gift of Mental Health Education to your community.
To extend our efforts of Proactive Suicide Prevention and teach as many individuals as possible that IT’S OK NOT TO BE OK, we are asking all members of our community to support our education programs & break the silence on mental health with us!
It is our goal to raise enough funds to educate 20,000 individuals in 2020.
Last year we educated 16k individuals. With continuos support from our proactive community members, we know we have the power to educate even more people this year.
Educating just 1 individual on how to confront the leading risk factors of suicide BEFORE crisis can make a huge impact towards reducing suicide rates.
TAKE ACTION WITH HFTD! This is how YOU can make an impact:
1. Make a direct donation or start your own Facebook fundraiser for HFTD Proactive Prevention + Mental Health Education Programs
1 donation of $12.50 can educate 1 individual in a Hope For The Day Mental Health Education Workshop.
It only takes 1 individual to get educated and confront the highest risk factors of suicide BEFORE crisis.
1 individual can raise their voice to break the silence on mental health stigma & empower others to talk about mental health.
The more we talk about mental health, the more we drive the conversation and teach diverse communities that IT’S OK NOT TO BE OK.
