Suicide Prevention
Through our work with the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network (TSPN), Stephen’s Foundation helps bring suicide-prevention education and awareness into local high schools.
Our goal is to help students, educators, and families:
-
Recognize warning signs of suicide and emotional distress.
-
Understand when and how to ask for help.
-
Learn how to respond when a friend may be struggling.
-
Reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide.
-
Encourage healthy coping skills, connection, and peer support.
-
Connect students with trusted adults and appropriate community resources.
-
Educate students about the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988, 24/7.
We believe prevention begins with education, connection, and conversation. By working together with TSPN, schools, families, and community partners, we can help young people know that their lives matter, help is available, and hope is possible.

About Grief
Dealing with Grief
Stephen’s Foundation is a 12-month “Grief Companion” model. Stay connected after the funeral—perhaps around 48 hours, 2 weeks, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, the first birthday/holiday, and the first anniversary.T
A grief companion is a supportive individual who stands by someone experiencing grief, providing presence, listening, encouragement, and practical assistance. At Stephen's Foundation, a grief companion serves as a non-clinical peer supporter focusing on helping individuals feel less isolated they navigate life after a significant loss. They do not engage in diagnosis or psychotherapy but instead offer comforting during a challenging time. This role is essential in fostering connection and resilience for those coping with grief.
