Grady Nia Project
Donation protected
October is suicide prevention month and domestic violence awareness month, and your contribution to the Grady Nia Project (http://bit.ly/22hdWEP) can help us address both of these serious public health problems. The Grady Nia Project’s mission is to empower abused, suicidal African American women to access behavioral health services, find a new sense of purpose, lead more meaningful lives, and affirm their commitment to living a violence-free life. To achieve this mission, our compassionate and culturally competent team members provide group and individual therapy services and facilitate community referrals and partnerships.
Recently, the Grady Nia Project team developed ReliefLink (http://apple.co/1hL6Vt4), a mental health suicide prevention mobile app that allows people to track their suicidal thoughts, easily access safety and coping plans, access local resources, and quickly call for emergency assistance. This app was awarded $50,000 at a White House Conference http://bit.ly/1T4eZSr for its innovativeness and usefulness for suicide prevention.
Unfortunately, right now the app is only available to iPhone users. Therefore, additional funds are needed to adapt this software to be available to the many Android users in the Grady Nia Project and in the community. The estimated cost for this project is $10,000 and therefore that is our ambitious goal for this October 2016 GoFundMe Campaign. Securing these funds will enable more people who are thinking about suicide to access this user-friendly mobile app, which is at the cutting-edge of mobile technology for behavioral health practice.
We would be most grateful to you for your contribution, small or large. Please join us in our efforts to prevent suicide. Thank you.
We'd also love for you to follow our updates on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/gradyniaproject)
