Our Minds Matter is an upstream suicide prevention model based on resiliency research and the power of peer-to-peer influence amongst adolescents. Our Minds Matter began in five high schools in Fairfax County, VA. In the past 10 years, they've grown tremendously, and now support mental health clubs in nearly 130 schools nationwide. And they're still growing: by the end of the 2022-23 school year, they expect to be in 180 schools, reaching thousands of teens with our grassroots, student-led club model.

The anniversary event raised over $115k to continue OMM's mission. OMM said, "We are thrilled to celebrate this exciting milestone with our community, and kick off the next decade of our work toward the day when no teen dies by suicide."
