Our mission is to prevent suicide among teenagers by providing support, resources, and education to promote mental health and well-being. We strive to create a world where every teenager feels valued, supported, and empowered to seek help when needed. We believe that suicide is preventable, and we are committed to raising awareness and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health. Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to promote resilience, foster hope, and empower teenagers to overcome the challenges they face. Our ultimate goal is to save lives and create a brighter future for all teenagers.
In a recent survey*, 22% of high school students
said that they had seriously considered suicide
within the past year, up from 16% in 2011.
It's important to remember that depression is a serious illness, and that suicide is never the answer. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression or thoughts of suicide, there is help available. Reach out to a trusted adult, family member, or mental health professional for support. With help and support, it is possible to overcome even the most challenging struggles and find hope and happiness in life once again. For more information visit www.annieschoice.org.
