Success Stories

Ergieleena Teasley

STOPS Executive Board Treasurer

My very close relative, that I love so dearly, is living today because of Sisters Taking On the Prevention of Suicide.

Jett

A mother who has adult children living with mental illness.

For me and my family STOPS has been the Hands and Feet of JESUS! Stops has educated me on mental illness. STOPS has prayed for me, held my hand and supported me in some of the darkest days of dealing with my daughters’ mental illness and my uncertainty of will we get through this. STOPS always helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Angie

A Certified Mental Health First Aider.

The course has provided me with useful resources and made me feel more confident on how to assist in a crisis while professional help arrives.

Jessica

A woman living with mental illness.

Knowledge is my power. That’s the only way I can survive. That’s the only way I can help someone else. And being apart of STOPS…giving me that knowledge, lets me know that, for the next person, I can pass along that knowledge and to be able to even refer them to STOPS.
