Welcome
More than 38,000* people in the United States die by suicide every year.
*The latest data available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that 38,364 suicide deaths were reported in the U.S. in 2010.
Mission: Grace For 2 Brothers Foundation is an educational organization, dedicated to the advocacy of suicide prevention through awareness and education. The Foundation will provide resource information and assistance to those who are in crisis, or who know someone in crisis. In addition, we will provide support and resources to survivors - those who have lost a loved one to suicide.
If you are in crisis now or know someone who is in crisis please utilize these Steps of Grace to find help and solutions:
| If You Know Someone Who Is In Crisis | If You Are In Crisis | |
| Take A Step Forward | Take A Step Back | |
| Get involved. Start by telling the person you are concerned and tell them why. | Getting help is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of strength. | |
| Recognize the signs of someone who is suicidal. | Realize you're not alone; there are people who care about you and want to help. | |
| Availability of means. Remove any firearms, drugs, or sharp objects that could be used for suicide. | Avoid alcohol, drugs and other methods of self-medication, especially if you are in crisis. | |
| Core symptoms of major depressions are a "down" or depressed mood for more than two(2) weeks. | Contact a friend, family member, teacher, or clergy who can be with you in this crisis. | |
| Encourage the person to see a counselor, physician or a mental health professional immediately. | Everyone's recovery is different. Don't give up. With help comes hope. | |
Suicide is Preventable. Please join us as we begin our journey. Together, we can help in the fight against suicide -
“MAKING A DIFFERENCE, ONE LIFE AT A TIME”
