Suicide Prevention and Awareness

A person will take their own life almost every 40 seconds. Depression and anxiety have become an epidemic in our country. Too many young people are hurting and don’t know who to turn to for help. By donating to Josh’s Benches you can help us save the lives of people who are feeling hopeless, lost, worthless, and unfortunately, suicidal.

A person will die by suicide every 40 seconds. It is also the leading cause of death for 9 to 34 year olds nationwide. All ages have been known to take their lives over the age of 34 as well.We use all our funding to further grow our project to be incorporated into schools and organizations across the country. We aim to help connect anyone in need to the appropriate help service that is available to them.Josh’s Benches for Awareness Corporation is a 501(c)3 charitable organization dedicated to raising awareness on mental health issues and promoting suitable resources to remove the negative stigma surrounding the receiving of help. We participate in assemblies and speaker events to try and spread valuable info that will hopefully one day be incorporated into student curriculum. The benches that we build and install serve as physical symbols that represent our talks, any local campaign or movement surrounding mental health, and are also safe places for students to refer to for help. The benches are bright yellow so that whoever notices them and reads them will know that they are not alone and that there is help out there for them.

Our vision for Josh’s Benches for Awareness is to work alongside schools and other organizations nationwide to help those with internal struggles receive the help they need. To help end the epidemic that has been created from depression and anxiety. Also, to leave a legacy of helping others feel better, in the name of Joshua Nadelbach.

Our target population is ages 9 and up.

Suicide rates are at the all time high

With placing our bright yellow awareness benches with important resources in all public areas we will save the lives of those struggling or in crisis. Letting them know there is help available and how to get it in times of crisis

We work along side schools, universities, parks and recreations,, mayors , commissioners, congress people , sheriffs dept. City and county and state officials who are all supportive of our missions , We attend events , we use social media, local tv and work alongside large  corporations that support our mission as well. 

We are fully operational due to the grants, donations, sponsorships, corporate and personal donation and events and fundraising that we do on regular basis as well as use social media and tv to help grow our organization. If our solution is selected we are able to get thousands of people the help they need .
