“As a psychiatrist, I’ve worked with young people in crisis. But losing my own son changed everything.

I realized su***de prevention isn’t about what one person could have done. It’s about what we build together.”

Your support gives schools a chance to prepare earlier, respond more effectively, and surround young people with care.
