About Behind the Smiles
Behind the Smiles Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on suicide prevention, early intervention, and access to therapy. We believe mental health care shouldn’t be a privilege — it should be a community effort.
Every year, we see suicide remain one of the leading causes of death among young adults aged 18–30. Behind the Smiles was created to change that by making therapy approachable and starting the journey toward healing — one person, one session, one community at a time.
Through our programs, we sponsor the first three therapy sessions for individuals in need, bridging the gap between wanting help and getting it.
Mental Health Community Day is our annual celebration of that mission — a safe, welcoming space where we remind our community: you’re not alone, and healing is possible.
OUr Impact Goal
Together, we can change lives — one session at a time.
Our goal is to raise $2,500, enough to cover 20+ therapy sessions for community members taking their first step toward healing.
