The Goal - Raise Awareness of the Reality of Problems with the Mind

On December 20, 2010, our son Nathan died by suicide. We had no idea there was a problem. Now we understand many children deal with problems with their minds and emotions which may lead to tragedy or life-long struggles. If parents were more aware of this issue, we believe that they could help their children navigate through these challenges.
