Learning to Save Lives

Mental Health Awareness Funding Campaigns
We partner with individuals, organizations, and communities to raise critical funds for mental health research and education—helping strengthen prevention, expand understanding, and save lives.
Through community-led fundraising, we turn awareness into action by supporting research and education that can make a meaningful difference for individuals, families, and communities.
Every campaign is an opportunity to bring people together around a shared purpose—creating greater awareness, supporting meaningful solutions, and helping build communities where individuals and families feel seen, supported, and equipped with hope.
WHY RESEARCH MATTERS
Research helps us better understand the complex factors that influence mental health and suicide risk—and what can help prevent a crisis before it occurs.
At Sisters Taking On the Prevention of Suicide (STOPS), we believe the strongest prevention efforts are informed by both scientific evidence and lived experience. When knowledge is paired with compassion, it can help reduce stigma, strengthen prevention efforts, and help communities respond with greater understanding.
Understanding leads to prevention—and prevention saves lives.
FROM RESEARCH TO ACTION
Research gives us knowledge. Science helps us understand how that knowledge can strengthen prevention, education, advocacy, and care.
At STOPS, we value research that honors both scientific evidence and lived experience. When knowledge is paired with compassion, it can help reduce stigma, strengthen prevention efforts, and help communities respond with greater understanding.
Knowledge matters most when it helps us care for people better.
How Do I Get Involved?
Everyone has a role to play in suicide prevention.
Through fundraising campaigns and community partnerships, STOPS brings people together to raise awareness and generate resources for research, education, and prevention.
You can get involved by participating in a fundraising Event, supporting a campaign, or partnering with us in other meaningful ways.
Together, we turn compassion into action—and action into hope.
