Suicide prevention and mental health awareness is not just my problem or your problem. This is a global and cultural issue. Suicide and mental health issues do not discriminate. It knows no race, religion, sexual orientation, economic class.
Our partners are precious. All of them understand the impact and critical need for change with respect to suicide and mental health. Whether local, regional or national, each of our partners has stepped up and takes a leadership role in addressing these issues.
ConnerStrong Foundation works in partnership with each of these organizations to change the culture and mindset of people when dealing with mental health and to also provide both preventative and reactive resources to those people, families and communities that have been affected by mental health issues and suicide.
We do this through spreading the message, providing access to the various resources available and through our fundraising.
While we do not expect to change the world by ourselves, we hope that through our partnerships and efforts, the change will continue to grow, and we can help at least one person and one family.
