About HEARTS

Our Story: HEARTS was founded from a place of profound compassion by the Newbery family, who personally experienced the devastating impact of suicide. Rather than allowing loss to have the final word, they transformed pain into purpose—building an organization committed to preventing youth suicide through resilience education, empowerment, and community engagement.

Our Vision: We envision a future where:

• Suicide rates decline dramatically.

• Young leaders thrive with strength, character, and purpose.

• Communities proactively engage in mental health education and support.

• Every youth has access to the tools, connections, and confidence they need to build a resilient future.

Our Core Beliefs:

• The 7 Cs of Resilience are teachable and life-changing.

• Prevention must happen before crisis.

• Communities, not individuals alone, hold the key to lasting mental health support.

• Every young person matters—and every contribution to their journey matters too.
