I had worked in the field of adolescent psychology the year prior to my freshmen year at college, collaborating with members of the Empower Program and the Ophelia Project- both leading girls’ advocacy organizations- at the Girls Leadership Institute. I worked as a counselor in Washington, DC at the Girls Leadership Institute, a residential program that assisted at-risk adolescent females who had been victims of harassment or bullying at their schools.

Our mission at SOS is to prevent and raise awareness about teenage suicide in the place where teens are most reachable; schools.. Through SOS, our goal is to reach out to those in need, and offer hope to those who would otherwise have nowhere else to turn. In doing so, we want to show that nobody is truly alone in this world, no matter how bad it may seem. SOS aims to bring teens together in an attempt to unite and overcome feelings of despair, isolation, and hopelessness. Teen suicide can no longer be a taboo subject. If nobody is willing to bring it to the forefront, nothing can be done.
