World Su***de Prevention Day: Be a Light in Someone’s Dark

Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, I’m reminded of a simple and powerful truth: each of us has the power to be a light in someone’s dark.

Check in on your friends and family. Send that text you’ve been putting off. Make that call. Remind someone that it’s okay to not be okay. Listen.

In memory of my brother, Ben, I’m reminded that even in our darkest moments, there can be light. Sometimes we need to carry that light for others. Sometimes others carry it for us.

Today, be that light. 💚

Our 2025 scholarship winners this year are courageous and compassionate and are starting conversations around difficult topics, raising awareness for mental health, and are helping to end the stigma ...more importantly, their collective courage will make people who are struggling feel less alone. This year’s recipients have done so many things for their classmates, community, families, and friends. They have also recognized how important mental health is for themselves. We are incredibly excited to see what your futures hold!

This scholarship class marks the 38th scholarship from the Benny Fund. A big congratulations to: William Nafis, Kaitlyn Grenier, and Jacob Sheff!
