The Summer of Hope is intended to be a catalyst to initiate an irreversible momentum shattering the silence around suicide, bringing this issue fully into the light without apology. Mental health is a personal issue but it is benefitted by community support.
Making a donation and spreading the word on this funding initiative are ways you join us in accomplishing our funding goal. Any contribution you make will help launch the Summer of Hope and giving voice for the far too many trapped within the walls of silence.
Current Hope For The Day Projects:
The BEATKEEPERS Project: The BEATKEEPERS project is our on the ground creative education program focusing on empowerment through musical and artistic expression. Based on expressive therapy concepts, this project targets 12-21 year-old-high-risk adolescents from low-income areas suffering from mental illness. BEATKEEPERS inspires these individuals to confront suicide, community issues and oppression through lyric composition and beat making. Lyrical self-expression serves as a vehicle for these youth to connect to their environment and build a stronger self-identity. This initiative has run four successful 6-week pilots at Thresholds and currently (2014) operates in The McCormick Boys & Girls Club of Chicago.
Music Saved My Life Project: An ongoing PSA-style video series featuring internationally recognized musicians and artists sharing personal stories, frank discussion, anddirect confrontation of struggles with suicide, depression and mental illness. They are designed to instill a shame free atmosphere encouraging open dialogue and expression of personal/mental struggles. HFTD partners with Alternative Press Magazine to release each Music Saved My Life segment through their online platforms, amplified by participating artists own media avenues. Over the last year, we have produced over 30 Music Saved My Life segments.
‘_____’ (Blank) Gives Me Hope Campaign: Working with teen volunteers from across the US and as far abroad as Belgium, we are building content for a visual collage series of teens voicing the positivity they find in themselves in a reverse of the traditional ‘sad statement’ visual galleries. Intended for Spring-Summer 2014.
The Hope Defined Project: A feature length film about suicide and prevention made by teens for teens currently in development in Naperville, IL.
