The Cause

The Mission of the Jonathan Foundation has expanded this year to include a focus on brain health. The mission is to touch the lives of at risk teens through awareness building and education, advocacy, and mentorship, coaching, and clinical & resource support.

The Vision of the Jonathan Foundation has expanded to include our focus on community education and community action and a growing focus on brain health to increase suicide awareness and prevention. The vision is to impact mental health and suicide awareness with a focus on brain health, education, and support for the next generation, informing healthcare, schools/churches, and first responders within our local communities and communities across the nation, and influencing policy at the state and national levels.

The Strategic Aims of the Jonathan Foundation center around three strategic themes: Achieving excellence in-

  • Awareness building and education
  • Advocacy
  • Support including mentorship, coaching, clinical navigation, and resource support
