TeenHope

TeenHope is almost 100% donor-funded. With your help, more teenagers in our schools who are at-risk for suicide will be identified and receive the services they need.

Our goal is to have the capacity and resources to implement the program in one grade in every public and private school in Lancaster County.

We also want to guarantee that no student will be turned away from the screening or counseling because of financial resources.

Your donation matters!
