CHALLENGES SUPPORT BULLYING, CYBERBULLYING, AND SUICIDE PREVENTION PROGRAMS
100% of All donations support prevention, intervention, and support programs that directly help vulnerable youth who are struggling with bullying, cyberbullying, and thoughts of suicide. The suicide rate among youth aged 10-24 increased by 56% between 2007-2017 and the suicide rate in Missouri is 31% higher than the national average. Youth who experience bullying and/or cyberbullying are more than twice as likely to take their own lives that youth who do not. Our programs have yielded positive outcomes for thousands of children and teens. You can make a difference!
