SPEAKING
Our research surveyed over 500 young people age 10-24 years and asked them, “Who would you tell if you are suffering?” Over 80% said they would tell a friend, or no one. This is why our peer-to-peer training is so vital and is saving lives across the country. Students often feel helpless and inadequate when a friend shares their private pain, especially if they are in danger of self-harm or suicide. Before the pandemic, a mental health crisis was already raging with suicide being the second leading cause of death for ages 10-24 years. The pandemic has created a mental health storm to rage even more intensely, and our mission is to save lives by throwing “life lines” to suffering teens and college students, by connecting them to life-saving resources. Our LifeLines workshops equip students to recognize peers who are suffering and we give them the skills and resources to connect hurting friends to the mental health professionals, spiritual mentors and safe people for help.
LIFELINES TRAINING
We are a movement for young people and led by young people. From Florida to Hawaii, our mental health youth board is actively leading this ministry so our resources, social media,YouTube, books and mental health programs, appeal to hurting people their age, because they know what works for their generation. Our strategy is to connect as a collective group and 1:1 with our nationwide youth board. This board of teens and college students acts us an advisory board and many of them take action through contributing to our social media, writing, fundraising, trainings and more. We are piloting the LifeLines Workshop at many of their schools and college campuses. The Student Board meets monthly on Zoom to inform and shape our movement and to discern the most strategic next steps to save lives in this youth mental health crisis.
