ABOUT US

I founded Joy Inside Tears after the loss of my son Noah to suicide in 2021. It became my mission to shed light on suicide prevention and mental health. By sharing my story,  I hope to bring awareness of the stigma associated with mental health and to encourage early intervention. 

OUR MISSION

To provide mental health and suicide prevention resources, advocacy, support, education training, counseling referrals, and coaching to the community.

OUR VISION

End the stigma associated with mental health for those who suffer in silence.
