Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The Defensive Line seeks to end the epidemic of youth suicide, especially for young people of color, by telling the truth about it; by transforming the way we communicate and connect about mental health with ourselves and each other.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
The Defensive Line develops and utilizes workshops for an entire educational institution - its youth, leadership, and administration - that teaches skills to practically build mental resiliency into daily life and how to create space to talk to each other about difficult subjects. Workshops are led primarily by speakers, beginning with its co-founders and chosen guest speakers, who have been impacted by suicide and challenges with their own mental health.$0$14,971
The Defensive Line also partners with clinicians and uses scientific approaches to addressing mental health through its programs, but also connects to community participants through experts who have both a clinical perspective as well as in their own mental health and personal experiences.$0$14,971
