Thank you for taking the time to listen to Bee's message and for answering our call for help. Bee Smith joined our Board of Directors earlier in 2021 and has been making a significant impact participating in our college outreach and talking directly to students struggling with mental health and suicidal thoughts.

With your support today, we are able to continue our life-saving programs.

Our volunteer team continues to answer crisis chats from people all over the world, and IMALIVE Crisis Center is now in its 11th year of operation. You can watch the IMALIVE 10-year anniversary video featuring our supporters and volunteers here https://bit.ly/IMALIVE10 Our volunteers have been supporting people in crisis through the pandemic for almost 2 years. They donate their time, selflessly.

Alive! Mental Health Fair, created in 2010, continues to combat growing suicide rates among college students. This interactive and educational program has been invited to over 200 campuses across the US, including Purdue University, VCU, Colorado State University, Florida State University, Cleveland State University, and dozens of others. This program helped thousands of college students learn more about mental health, how to get help and support for their depression, anxiety, or other mental illness, and how to support a friend struggling with thoughts of suicide.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, a virtual program "Healthy Mind Games" has been helping connect isolated college students struggling in silence to other students, caring college staff, and available counseling resources on their campus.

Many chat visitors tell us that they feel like a burden to others, and are afraid to share their hopelessness until it's too late. Suicide prevention is everybody's business. It happens one conversation at a time. Think of a friend you haven't spoken in a while, and text or message them right now to say hello! Your kind message can make someone's day.
