Think Through Your Life

Think Through Your Life (TTYL) was conceived and created by three teenagers, Isabel Pesci, Taylor Newcomer and Elizabeth Korb, to bring awareness to the nationwide problem of teenage suicide. Our mission is to educate people about the warning signs of suicide and how to help teens, or anyone they know who is struggling.
Through music, our organization helps teens find ways to work through depression and access information that may save their lives; to stop and think through their lives, their decisions and choices. TTYL produces concerts to emphasize the healing potential of music. The concert setting provides music from several nationally touring artists and weaves in speakers, educational materials and resources, which include counselors on-hand to help anyone in need. The goal is to inform, inspire and break down the stigma associated with suicide.
Our organization provides information on warning signs, places to go and services from a suicide hotline to runaway and homeless shelters. Providing these connections is a vital link for teens struggling with the issue of suicide. TTYL’s peer-to-peer approach is a great example of young people who want to help change the world by providing a resource for the entire community.
