At STAR MH Foundation, Inc., our mission is to eliminate suicide among teens and youth through awareness, education, and support. We are dedicated to raising funds for suicide prevention initiatives while providing compassionate assistance to families affected by suicide loss. By fostering open conversations about mental health and offering vital resources, we aim to create a community where every individual feels valued, understood, and empowered to seek help. Together, we strive to cultivate hope, resilience, and healing for all.

 

STAR MH Foundation, Inc. is a lasting memory of Brandy Brooks nephew, Bryce Walker, who was only a 14-year-old teenager, took his life on September 10, 2023. She vowed to continue building awareness around a topic that we see far too much stigma around and to help other families avoid experiences that her family encountered. To help put an end to this heart-wrenching epidemic, Brandy developed STAR MH Foundation, Inc. Support Teen Awareness and Recognize Mental Health.

 

Not every journey is easy; for some, it may be difficult to talk about their feelings, thoughts about suicide, or how to get help. By working together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of these families and demonstrate that they are not alone in their journey towards healing and recovery.

 

We believe that true change begins when we confront the uncomfortable realities of suicide. Being comfortable with being uncomfortable talking about Suicide and Mental Health. We must aim to educate ourselves and recognize the warning signs, raise awareness of suicide, and include open conversation with each other so that you can make a difference and save lives. We envision a community-free of suicide that embraces the importance of quality mental health prevention.
