Beacon Project's Mission
Our mission is to provide helpful, effective suicide-prevention training and awareness to survivors of those who have died by suicide. “The Beacon Project” symbolizes hope and guidance in the darkness of death and hopelessness.
Vision
The Beacon Project envisions a world with people who recognize their intrinsic-value, and choose to make a better world by preserving their life. Three major risk factors that drive the high suicide rates in the U.S. are: history of depression and other mental illnesses, a sense of hopelessness, and substance use. These common risk factors unmistakably show the low self-worth many reach, before making the frightening decision to take their lives.
