The Lifekeeper Foundation was formed in 1995 to promote suicide awareness, education, and prevention through art forms such as Lifekeeper Jewelry, Poetry, and the Lifekeeper National Memory Quilt project. The foundation's goal is to continue with these projects, develop others as envisioned, and simply to carry the message that suicide happens in good families and that it can happen to any of us. The Lifekeeper Foundation networks with national suicide and mental health organizations, many of which are linked to from this site.
Suicide is the eighth leading cause of death in America.
Only with education can we lower the incidence of suicide. Lifekeeper Foundation is not intended as a crisis prevention or hot line support site. Local crisis hot line phone numbers can be found in the front of your local phone book, or you can visit our Crisis Phone Numbers and Links page.
