A little about what we do...
After learning that one of his closest friends had made a suicide attempt, our Executive Director, Ibrahim Afzal, founded this organization to combat suicide and raise awareness of youth mental health challenges. It has since evolved to encompass other significant issues that will shape the lives of future generations.

Circulated a curriculum focusing on the destigmatization of mental health that schools can use
Working with 25+ schools to introduce new programs, services, and marketing surrounding mental health
And lots more!

Create an interactive gameshow that schools can host that combats mental health and suicide stigmatization
