Our Program Beginning: 2015-2016 School Year

MSMF-funded suicide prevention and mental health programs for schools began in 2015. Despite the uncomfortable topic which some schools at first resisted, that year was monumental for Matt’s Foundation and for suicide prevention in the Los Angeles area high schools. Over the span of 6 weeks, we worked with Active Minds to bring nationally recognized young adult mental health speakers to Los Angeles. 

The speakers held partial and full-school assemblies and the reactions from both students and administrators were amazing. In addition to those speakers, we also brought the incredible Send Silence Packing suicide prevention interactive exhibit to our local schools. If you can imagine, we spread 1100 backpacks representing the student lives lost to suicide that year — each one with the child’s personal story —  out on the lawns, football fields, and common areas of High Schools. The traveling exhibit gives the students a chance to learn more about depression, anxiety, other mental health topics, and ways they can help prevent suicide. Students couldn’t stop talking about the exhibit. In fact, one MSMF supporter later increased his donation ten-fold after hearing his three boys talk for days about the Send Silence Packing exhibit at their school.

Matt’s Foundation then partnered with Human Power Project to fill in the rest of the school year beyond those six weeks. With our partnership, we can help more schools than before, year round. Ross Szabo’s impressive educational school assemblies and curriculum inspired so many schools that between Active Minds and adding Human Power Project, we have more schools requesting our services than we ever could have anticipated!

Our Program Beginning: 2016-2017 School Year

Word quickly spread among schools, and as a result, MSMF-funded programs vastly expanded to include middle schools, high schools and colleges in all over Southern California, throughout the state and around the the country.

To accommodate the enormous increase in school requests for MSMF-funded programs, we added Josh Rivedal and his I am Possible Project to our Speakers. Josh also travelled to small communities around the country to help where bullying and teen suicides are an ever-worsening problem.

One significant development: we are receiving more and more student-initiated program requests. We love that! When students support students the world gets better.
