Hope starts here.

**Vision**
We believe mental health is a fundamental aspect of overall well-being and everyone deserves the opportunity to receive the care and support they need to live a healthy and fulfilling life.
**Problem**
We understand that the cost of mental health treatment can be a significant barrier for many individuals, which is why we strive to provide financial assistance to those in need.
A person with severe depression has a 14% chance of committing suicide in his or her lifetime. Current services like standard psychiatry and hospitalizations are not very effective in treating severe depression and often lead to a forced leave of absence. Life-saving and life-flourishing treatments like combination TMS + therapy are not currently covered by insurance.

Every $15,000 helps save a student’s life.

Our Mission is to prevent suicide in students from low-income families by providing finances and access to the best mental health treatments. Every $15,000 helps save a student’s life.
