ESTABLISHED: 2016
MISSION: To reduce youth suicide and promote mental health through collaborative, evidence-based initiatives. Our vision is: Saving Young Lives, Together!
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY: Suicide is the second leading cause of death for youth ages 10–14, with overall suicide rates increasing across age groups. Grant Us Hope provides lifesaving programs in over 200 schools across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, transforming conversations around mental health to help prevent suicide.
Grant Us Hope serves the community by collaborating with school administrators, teachers, parents, and students to provide mental health response training, parent education and support, along with postvention to assist schools and survivors.
Our work creates Hope Squads, which are school-based, peer-to-peer programs with multi-year curriculum that teaches students suicide prevention fundamentals, self-care, and anti-bullying. Hope Squads develop a culture of belonging and reduce the stigma associated with mental health. These important skills transcend education and benefit entire communities.
