About Us We, The Sparks for Life Project team, are a group of teenagers who have recognized the dual problem of high rates of teen depression and a lack of resources designed for teens to gain understanding and heal themselves and their friends. We knew that over 30,000 deaths from suicide yearly was far too many. The existing resources were largely either built for doctors and parents, or were so disparate and inaccessible that they were effectively useless. We decided to solve these problems by putting help in the hands of teens. The website is friendly to a teen looking for help for themselves and others, and is linked to what teens use the most - social networks and forums.
Together, we can be sparks for life in our local communities. Together, we can ensure that every teen has a future. |
