Mental Healthcare

Our tag line is "Start the Conversation," because topics like grief and suicide are historically avoided and these difficult conversations require courage. Our mission statement includes empathy, education and courageous conversation. As Sharing Kindness has grown, we have focused on Suicide Awareness and Grief Support. We have partnered with schools and community programs, in addition to collaborating with other nonprofits, to educate, advocate and prevent suicide, including school Suicide Prevention policies. We want to eliminate the stigma around mental health, allowing those who struggle to reach out more confidently. Additionally, we are educating the rest of us on how to reach in, if we suspect that someone may be suicidal. We have reviewed and distributed best practice policies for print and spoken media around news coverage of suicide. We have also offered Grief Programming throughout the Cape, with curriculum developed and overseen by our licensed mental health clinicians.
