H.F.T.D. is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization founded in 2011 to remind individuals around the world that they aren’t alone.

Hope For The Day was created to honor all the friends and family members who had died by suicide. Founded in 2011, H.F.T.D. started in Chicago music venues doing outreach. Since those humble beginnings, we have evolved and grown to pioneer programming that we call Proactive Prevention. Through outreach and mental health education, we strive to empower early intervention on mental health challenges and disrupt the highest risk factors for suicide.

Our work has represented in all 50 states, 26 countries, and 17 different languages! Thanks to our team of passionately dedicated staff and volunteers committed to starting the conversation, raising the visibility of resources, and educating why IT’S OK NOT TO BE OK^®.

We have come to understand that suicide arises when someone believes there are no resources available to end their suffering. Arriving at the point of a suicidal crisis can stem from many different paths, all of which share difficulty communicating and addressing the psychological impact an experience is causing in someone’s daily life.

We are a diverse coalition formed of suicide survivors, lived experience peer supporters, clinicians, and advocates, who share a pressing sense of urgency to create tangible action on suicide prevention.

We are in this together.
