Overview
Mission
Mission 34 is organized for charitable and educational purposes including but not limited to fundraising to eliminate the stigma around mental illness and shape a better understanding of mental health. The goal of the organization is to promote change by increasing mental health awareness through facilitation of workshops guest speakers and training sessions for athletes and all students to teach a new type of tough in our schools.
What it reported doing in 2024
On-site school mental health awareness educational programs were conducted at colleges universities and high schools. Other mental health awareness programs were offered in the surrounding communities for parents students and the community at large. This expense includes activities promoting mental health awareness via social media as well as direct support for on-site programming.
