About Us - Living With Passion & Purpose

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

We can make an impact on the world one person, one training and one conversation at a time.   Together we can move the mission of saving lives and supporting those who've lost someone to suicide.  At Brother Up, we do that every single day.  We are a foundation built as a result of personally experiencing suicide loss.

OUR MISSION

WHO WE HELP

Whether you're an individual, family, organization, or agency  - we are here  for you. 

It is important to us to be able to help the people helping people.  We work with ANYone and EVERYone. Those we serve come from various industries, backgrounds and places such as:

  • Everyday Heroes   ( Y O U ! )
  • Mental Health and Medical Health Agencies Providing Services
  • Organizations Needing Specialized Training for Mental Health 
  • School Systems
  • First Responders
  • Veterans & Military
  • Families Affected By Suicide
  • Peer Recovery Coaches and Addiction Services Agencies/ Organizations
  • Individuals Wanting to Make a Difference

It is an honor and privilege to do this work; we take it seriously because lives depend on what we do and don't do.  We are ready, willing and able to help.

WHAT WE DO

In order to serve you best, please contact us. There are many ways for us to help you.  We create a safe and meaningful experience - always - whether for a training, presentation, or a help and healing support session. We operate a Help & Support Line for those recently experiencing a suicide loss - to be able to find their way and navigate those first days, weeks, and months of a suicide loss experience. 

We've been there, - we've personally experienced suicide loss - and we know the need is great in finding helpful support in the immediate aftermath for those left behind. This is a difficult and unique experience unlike other deaths. What suicide leaves behind is complicated; it requires and deserves extra care and mindfulness for those impacted.  


There are many ways for us to help you. 

We're here to help.  We can... we do... and we will.

HOW WE HELP

We empower families, communities, organizations and agencies to be focused on their specific needs, ultimately helping to strengthen the supports in place for help and provide healing after loss experiences. Knowing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities for increased support while addressing the threats needed to keep individuals safe, helps us help each other.  This is important  - because we can't undo death and fatalities.  Our help includes:

  • A wide variety of trainings, presentations and programs (for anyone) specific to suicide prevention, intervention and postvention skills; speaking safely and responsibly about mental health, trauma, substance misuse, social emotional learning and healing; audience specific programming.  A main focus of our efforts are to strengthen the help of those helping others by educating the world around us to handle mental health, suicide and trauma in a safer and more meaningful manner. 
  • Grief Support Groups for those who've experienced suicide loss and homicide-suicide loss; we train facilitators to lead support groups safely.  
  • We operate a Support Line for Survivors of Suicide Loss to receive helpful support and information in the immediate aftermath of this unique and difficult loss experience, from others who've personally been there.  {1-844-MY-LOST1}
  • Advocate and Create Change - We help families better navigate the mental health system and advocate for change at local, state and national legislative levels by creating structure that is safer and more helpful for all.  
  • Comprehensive consult services to create individualized plans for trainings and technical support. We help you safely serve your people more effectively and efficiently.  From creating model school polices, to who needs trained in what program (because training is important), we can help. 

Something as simple as a training can ultimately be the difference between LIFE AND DEATH and therefore deserves to be treated as such.  It is crucial for those speaking out about suicide, mental health, substance misuse, addiction, and anything trauma related, do so in a manner that creates a culture of HELP and HOPE. Acknowledging the difference between helpful versus hurtful is crucial in the days ahead when it comes to actually helping people. Our words matter and our actions matter, what we do - and don't do - matters greatly. 

Difficult life experiences will always happen.  

A helpful response increases safety rather than creating further isolation;  lack of action isn't helpful to anyone. Now matters now. #HelpingPeopleHelpPeople
