Cross-promotion
Dreams Untitled is cross-promoting with both national and local suicide-prevention awareness campaigns. We do this in hopes of furthering awareness of the many different efforts being made for suicide-prevention in America.
Below are three of our earliest supporters: NoStigmas, Trevor Project, and Mad To Live. We have also included the You-Are-Loved Chalk Message Project. The You-Are-Loved Chalk Message Project is our other nationwide campaign.
We will be teaming up with more suicide-prevention advocacy organizations over the next few weeks and months. These organizations will also be highlighted. If you have an organization or cause that you’d like to see highlighted - email us at chalkmessages@gmail.com
For now, please take a look at these organizations and campaigns.

NoStigmas is a grassroots project to raise awareness and erase the stigmas of suicide and mental illness by collecting and sharing stories of hope and inspiration. If you have a story, photograph, art, poetry, letter, etc. to share, we would love to hear from you.
The Trevor Project:

The Trevor Project is the leading national organization focused on crisis and suicide prevention efforts among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth.
The Trevor Project operates the only accredited, nationwide, around-the-clock crisis and suicide prevention helpline for LGBTQ youth. If you or a friend are feeling lost or alone, call The Trevor Helpline. There is hope, there is help.
Mad To Live:
(Visit: http://tinyurl.com/yfhchme)
Mad To Live is an organization dedicated to preventing suicide by empowering people to realize their human potential and transforming society to fully embracing the inherent dignity of each individual. It seeks to eradicate the stigma, labels, and boxes society puts around mental illness. The organization exists to encourage people, regardless of their diagnoses to be themselves, and aspire to fulfill their dreams through creative expression.
This is a revolutionary approach and will drive the Mad To Live mission forward through: fostering an environment for innovative ideas and mutual respect: financially responsible approaches:, dedication to partnerships with like-minded organizations wherever possible; and an entrepreneurial and mission- minded spirit, which considers the need for a healthy balanced holistic life.
The organization can be summarized in simple ABCD terms:
Aspire
Be
Create
Dream
Mad To Live exists to show the world that individuals are not defined by their behavioral health disorders and are achieving their personal goals and leading extraordinary lives. There will be strong collaboration with the arts community promoting innovative and emerging thinking and therapeutic effects that occur through self-expression in the arts.
In no way does Mad To Live seek to take the place of mental health and addictions treatment services and/or medication, but offers itself as an additional or alternative therapy. It’s the “What else is out there?” safe haven for people to turn to express themselves and be encouraged by others. We seek transformative approaches toward behavioral health by embracing the individuals who often suffer in silence, and by removing the barriers that stigma creates.
You-Are-Loved Chalk Message Project
(Visit: http://tinyurl.com/ybpvf4t)
