About Us
Dirty Hands Project was created by Josh and Liz Moughan in response to losing their son, Ty, at the age of 18 to suicide in August 2023. For the decade that Ty struggled with depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation, we kept the story to ourselves. We felt it was Ty's alone to share. We will no longer be silent. In Ty's memory, we are committed to making a positive change in the lives of those impacted by mental illness.
We support people and programs that are rolling up their sleeves to better understand and address the needs of those affected by mental illness. For those suffering, we are focused on bringing increased awareness to and education around mental health as a way to help them feel comfortable sharing their struggles and asking for help. For those supporting others with mental illness, our goal is to help them understand and navigate the crucial steps in detection, treatment and advocacy. Everything we do at Dirty Hands Project will mirror the way Ty chose to live life - by focusing on nature, using our voices for those still searching for theirs, and leading with our hearts.
