WHEN A YOUNG PERSON DIES BY SUICIDE, THE WORLD FOREVER LOSES EVERYTHING THAT YOUNG PERSON WOULD HAVE BECOME AND EVERY CONTRIBUTION THEY WOULD HAVE EVER MADE.
At BecomeOne we work everyday to stop that loss.

NO ONE EXISTIS BY ACCIDENT
No one is here for no reason.
At BecomeOne we know that the frightening statistics surrounding youth teen suicide represent far more than numbers. They represent sons and daughters. Brothers and sisters. Grandchildren. Classmates, teammates, neighbors, and friends.
And behind every loss is a family forever changed.
THE 3 PILLARS OF PREVENTION
At BecomeOne, we believe that effective suicide prevention is not built on a single program or conversation. And reaching young people at their moment of crisis - while vitally important - it is, ultimately, reactionary.
We believe there is another way.
--------
Rather than focusing solely on intervention during moments of crisis, BecomeOne is dedicated to helping young people build the internal foundation they need to thrive throughout life.
WE ASKED OURSELVES
WE ASKED THE EXPERTS
WE ASKED PARENTS
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE ASKED YOUNG PEOPLE
Specifically, young people who had survived their own suicide attempts
WE ASKED
“What’s gone wrong? What has changed in our society that has caused this epidemic of self-extermination?”
And while most everyone listed the usual suspects:
SOCIAL MEDIA
FAMILY BREAKDOWN
INTOLERANCE
SEPARATION
WE WEREN'T SATISFIED
There had to be something deeper
Until Finally We Asked
“WHAT IS MISSING?”
From that simple question, emerged three clear and simple themes:
HOPE
Must Be Nurtured
Because your vision for tomorrow can be greater than today’s obstacle.
