Support Proactive Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Resources this Giving Tuesday
Suicide Prevention is more than a hotline. By increasing visibility to free mental health resources, we can meet people where they are and provide them with the tangible support they need. This Giving Tuesday, help us raise $50,000 to continue providing people with the resources they deserve in 2025.
Physical Resources
Our Physical Resources offer a tangible way for us to start the conversation in communities, especially where there are gaps in understanding mental health. Currently, we have resources to help people navigate a number of situations including, How to Ask For Help, How to Be Supportive, Understanding Non Suicidal Self Injury and Self Harm, Navigating Conversations About Suicide, and How to Support Someone Who Has Been Impacted By Suicide.
Outside of our conversation cards, we also offer resources that list hotlines and text lines, mental health guides, worksheets, and more. So far, in 2024, we have distributed over 50,000 resources in schools, workplaces, concerts, festivals, and various other community spaces. Our hope is that these resources empower and equip people to navigate difficult conversations surrounding mental health.
Education
Our clinically-backed and peer led education programming teaches individuals the tools they need to support themselves and those around them. Currently, we offer a number of education sessions, including The Things We Don't Say | Part 1, The Things We Don't Say | Part 2, The Things We Don't Say | Identity and Orientation, and our newest offering Lo Que Callamos. We also offer customized education sessions for Proactive Workplaces, as well as specialized sessions covering Topics Orbiting Suicide.
Not only do we provide live, in-person workshops both publicly and privately, but we also teach our education virtually over zoom, as well as through an easy-to-use e-learning program. So far in 2024, we’ve educated over 8,000 individuals in our mental health education programming. Our hope is that individuals will take our education sessions and leave feeling empowered to start the conversation in their own communities.
For $10 you can cover the cost of an online Mental Health Education for one individual
For $100 you can cover the cost of one mental health workshop in a community space!
Resource Compass
Suicide prevention is more than a hotline. It is no secret that our quality of life can be both positively and negatively affected by our mental health. This means that supporting someone's mental health can look like assisting with housing costs, ensuring access to quality food, or even supporting them through an educational class.
Our Find Help tool allows you to enter your zip code and be connected to resources right in your own neighborhood. So far, in 2024, we have had over 100,000 searches on our Find Help tool. Offered for completely free, we ultimately just want people to know that the help they deserve is accessible and closer than they think.

Join our panel discussion and community experience this Giving Tuesday! We've cultivated four panelists for this event— a mix of industry professionals, clinicians, and peer advocates/educators. Our Director of Education will be moderating the panel. Our general theme will be around building a mental health resource kit during the holiday season.
