📖 About Annie's Choice

Our mission is to help teens identify their anchors for hope, happiness, and life in an effort to reduce teen suicide. We provide teens and their families valuable financial resources, bridging the gap in finances so that no teen goes without necessary counseling and medications. Our goal is not only to help teens identify their anchors, but then to lean on them in times of crisis. Suicide can be an impulsive decision. We hope to ground teens with their anchors and introduce them to other community resources, so that in a vulnerable moment, they make the choice of living. We strive to create a community where every teenager feels valued, supported, and empowered to seek help when needed. We believe that suicide is preventable, and we are committed to raising awareness and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health.
