OUR STORY
The Network is a coalition of passionate people committed to transforming suicide prevention and reshaping mental health care.

Together there is Hope For Us!

OUR PHILOSOPHY: We Close the Gap

The cause of all harm from mental health challenges exists in the gap between the onset of issues and the point of intervention. A gap concealed by stigmas that drives silence until symptoms cannot be hidden. Rates of harm and suicide are reduced by closing this gap. The Hope for Us Network closes the gap with proactive suicide prevention.

POPULATIONS WE SERVE:

Adolescents, teens, adults, and seniors
Professionals: corporate, trades, service, etc.
First responders: municipal & federal
Military: veterans & active-duty
Medical: physicians, clinicians, nurses, caregivers
