“If I help just one person, it has all been worth it.”
-Steve Mason
The time to help, heal and educate is now.
We needn’t lose one more life!
“It ALL starts with a conversation”
Delivering a Powerful Message Through the Use of Film and Speech:
Steve Mason’s mission;
To initiate the necessary dialogue that can better and potentially save lives by bringing awareness to suicide, substance abuse, and effectively processing emotions in a positive fashion.
Audiences watch the powerful, and very poignant 20-minute short-film, “EIGHT,” as part of the assembly/presentation.
Sobering Facts:
Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among children ages 10 to 14, and MORE than 1 million adolescents ages 12 to 17 have a substance abuse disorder.*
The suicide death rate last year was the highest it’s been in at least 50 years, with more than 47,000 suicides, and drug overdose deaths also continued to climb, surpassing 70,000 last year.**
The death rate has risen almost 31 percent since 2016!
Easily, we are amid the deadliest drug overdose epidemic in U.S. history.
