We are empowering youth to have their friends' backs and creating cultures of care and advocacy in s Join the movement - spread the word!

Aevidum’s goal is to create cultures of “I’ve got your back” in schools and communities across the nation by forming Aevidum organizations. The Aevidum message is delivered creatively through a series of student-generated materials, interactive displays, high-energy assemblies, community events, music, artwork, stories, and PSAs, etc. Aevidum, which started in 2004 after a student died by suicide, earned SADD’s National Activity of the Year award in 2009, selected from more than 10,000 schools from across the nation. The organization has been recognized by the Pennsylvania Senate, Pennsylvania House, the nation’s top mental health experts, the mental health directors of New York and Ohio, and professors at the Penn State University, Florida State University, and the University of Maryland. In addition to appearing on TV, radio and in newspapers across Pa, Aevidum has appeared on Good Morning America. At the core of Aevidum is an educational philosophy that empowers students to take responsibility to make a difference. Aevidum students are encouraged to use their gifts and talents to succeed and to recognize the gifts and talents of their peers.

This , join us as we remember:

🦋 The people who are struggling quietly.
🦋 The people learning to ask for help.
🦋 The people finding their way through recovery.
🦋 The people caring for someone they love.
🦋 The people grieving a loss.
🦋 The people who have felt misunderstood, alone, or like they had to hide what they were going through.
🦋 The people who keep showing up for themselves, and the people who keep showing up for others.

We remember that mental illness can touch anyone, in any community, at any age.
And most importantly, we remember that behind every diagnosis, every struggle, and every statistic is a person, a person worthy of being seen, valued, heard, and cared for.

This week, and every week, let’s choose compassion over judgment, connection over isolation, and caring over silence.

I’ve got your back. 💛

September may be over, but su***de prevention doesn’t have an end date.

The conversations we started, the connections we made, and the reminders that you matter shouldn’t stop just because the calendar turned to October.

Su***de prevention is about creating a culture where people feel seen, valued, heard, and cared for all year long.

So keep checking in. Keep reaching out. Keep making space for honest conversations. Keep showing up.

Su***de prevention isn’t just a September thing. It’s an every day thing. 💛
