We couldn’t do anything about Vince, but the thought that maybe there is a chance that we could prevent another family from feeling the devastation we felt is all worth it!

Vince Foundation is a non-profit organization that brings emotional health awareness and suicide prevention to our teens, young adults, and communities. The unfortunate reality of losing a child, student, or a member of the community can cause lasting impact in ways that families, students, and communities may not be prepared to address.

Equipping parents, students and communities with knowledge and awareness of mental well-being health and the current opioid pandemic will promote a safer and healthier environment. This will protect families, students and communities at large. Mental health is a community issue that requires a public health approach and mentality. Let’s break the stigma and start sharing our stories. Let’s enlighten our communities about all the resources readily available and easily accessible!
