Pure Joy and Mental Wellness can help reduce the SUICIDE RATE in the US!
According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. Each year 44, 965 Americans die by suicide. On average there are 123 suicides per day.
The reasons why people die by suicide include, depression, psychosis, impulse, and a simple cry out for help, that’s often ignored or unnoticed by surrounding people. If we want to help reduce this statistic we must become more knowledgeable about Mental Health.
H360’s mission is to reduce the number of people suffering from any mental illness, while reducing the suicide rate in the United States.
We envision a community with people from all walks of life with access to the resources, education and tools to help manage difficult life events as it relates to Mental Wellness.
H360 interacts with people to connect them to community resources, while providing them the education on Mental Health/Mental Wellness to help themselves, or someone else.
Our core values are:
Community- We are dedicated to fostering a positive environment where everyone may experience a sense of belonging and worth. We honor all relationships and take responsibility for setting standards of trust, and vulnerability. We desire to make a difference in the lives of others.
Empowerment-. We empower, support, and encourage all affiliates to further the shared mission of H.U.M.A.N.I.T.Y 360, INC. We are committed to developing the confidence of every individual encountered.
Inclusiveness- We recognize the rights of all individuals with mutual respect and acceptance of others without biases based on differences of any kind.
It is H360’s duty to introduce, provide, and assist humans with the desire, tools and resources to be joyous. Therefore, we will spend every day devoting ourselves to bringing people joy! This includes teaching humans the importance of being accepting of themselves and others.
