Join us for ‪‎AFSP‬'s Out of the Darkness walk in Boise on Oct. 17. Speedy's childhood friend, Andrew Little, has established "Team Speedy" and would love your help by signing up to join in the walk or contribute a donation towards suicide prevention and research. 

"I have lost a close and dear friend of mine to suicide, we grew up together. I made a promise that I would always be there if he needed no matter what. There came a day when that promise no longer was just for him. He took his life. Now I try my best to support these institutions that support research and support for those afflicted. These organizations are horribly underfunded and need support. I do this in hope that you don't have to lose your good friend, family member, classmate or partner. My hopes are, that those who are afflicted, may have as many resources that are possible to help them get through." ~Andrew Little

An enormous THANK YOU to the 713 Group for their benefit dinner. The group raised over $13,000 for TSF programming for Idaho including sending two women to become MHFA certified trainers. 

"What gracious, loving people the 713 Group are. The people that attended were amazing." -Linda Peterson

Thank you for your generosity and for making suicide prevention a conversation in your home and circle of friends. 
 

The Speedy Foundation and PC Sport and Wellness Coalition invite you to an evening of education on the importance of understanding and recognizing the signs ofmental health and the stigma that surrounds suicide. Gain knowledge on your local resources within the community and let this be the beginning of conversations to end the stigma of Mental Health and Suicide and how you can get involved within your community and colleagues. As a community we are all impacted on some level and want to support each other through awareness and education.

On this day, in 2011, The Speedy Foundation filed our paperwork to become a 501c3 Nonprofit organization in memory of Jeret “Speedy” Peterson. This is the 4 year anniversary of our organization.

On this date, in 2011, we lost Speedy to suicide. Suicide is always a very complex loss. We work in his memory with the hope that others are able to find help, hope, and healing. Be a champion for mental health and suicide prevention in Speedy’s memory.
