Their primary focus is to destigmatize, normalize, and break the silence surrounding these issues while striving to strengthen efforts to educate and advocate for mental health wellness for individuals, families, and communities impacted by suicide in the Black Community. Your support will contribute to a collective effort to foster a community that prioritizes mental health, breaks down barriers, and saves lives.
