If Emma's story inspired you to vote for AFSP's teen suicide prevention project in the latest round of the Pepsi Refresh Challenge, thank you. The project finished in 8th place, which means it is eligible to receive a $50K grant to advance the important work of educating high school teachers about teen suicide, depression and suicide prevention.
In my opinion, just finishing in the top ten is a huge step forward in suicide prevention. Every time we talk about this problem, a problem that claims the lives of 10 high school students every single day in our country, we chip away at the wall of silence that has prevented us from collectively taking action to address this public health crisis. This was a small, but important, victory and I thank you.
Just quoted you. Carla
