Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder that mental health matters for everyone, every day.

We all face challenges, and no one should have to navigate difficult moments alone. Checking in with someone, starting a conversation or reaching out for support can make a meaningful difference.

At Foundation 2 Crisis Services, we're here for all people, any time, every time. If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988 to connect with a trained crisis counselor, 24/7.

Our school-based team recently visited Prairie High School to talk with teens about su***de prevention, recognizing when someone may be struggling and how to support their peers.

The presentation was part of the The Green Bandana Project, a national initiative that gives young people the knowledge and skills to recognize mental health concerns, respond with compassion and connect others to help.

We’re grateful for opportunities to empower young people to look out for one another and remind their peers that they don’t have to face tough times alone!

Connection can make a difference.

We recently hosted a free Lunch & Learn focused on the power of connection and the importance of checking in with the people around us.

Strong social support is an important protective factor against su***de. By reaching out, listening and showing up for one another, we can help build a more connected and supportive community.

Thank you to GreatAmerica volunteers who prepared a meal for youth in foster care at a recent FORWARD meeting! They made delicious walking tacos in the Corda Credit Union kitchen.

We host the FORWARD meeting for youth in an out-of-home placement like foster care twice a month at our Headquarters location in Downtown Cedar Rapids. Each meeting includes a homecooked meal made by volunteers. Want to help prepare a meal? Reach out at [email protected].
