The Quiet Suicide Crisis in Our Schools And One Simple Solution
One mentor could’ve changed everything for my daughter Maddie. She was 14 when we lost her to suicide. Not because she lacked love—but connection. That’s why we built The Mentor Well. Teens need emotionally intelligent mentors before crisis hits. Imagine if every school offered that. It’s not too late to be the change. One mentor. One teen. Everything shifts.
The Hidden Opportunity Almost Every Parent Misses With Their Teen
Most parents see their teen’s push for independence as a challenge; arguments, questioning authority, emotional distance. But what if this phase was actually an opportunity? The Thriving Zone is a chance to build trust, connection, and resilience. A mentor can bridge the gap, easing tension while guiding teens toward confidence and growth. Don’t wait for problems—lean in before they start.
