Youth Suicide Prevention Outreach
Shining a Light on Hope: Raising Awareness and Empowering Communities with Support.
Our Mission
Empowering Youth Lives
At Good Seed CDC, our mission is to provide compassionate
support to TransitionalAged Youth (TAY) facing life's
toughest challenges. Since our founding in 2000, we have been dedicated to fostering a community where young people can find hope, understanding, and connection.
Through our partnership with the 'Never a Bother' campaign,
we aim to bring critical suicide prevention awareness and
response tools to empower Transitional Aged Youth. By leveraging the strength of empathy, shared
experiences, and accessible resources, we work together to
combat suicide and build a brighter
future for every individual. Together, we create networks of care that uplift, support, and inspire hope.
