Find Your Anchor

Find Your Anchor (FYA) is a grassroots movement aimed at suicide prevention, awareness, and education. With creativity and a personal touch, FYA aims to support those who may be struggling and de-stigmatize conversations surrounding suicide and mental health. At the heart of Find Your Anchor’s mission is a small blue box. Once referred to as a “mental health first aid kit,” each box is packed with good vibes and materials designed to inspire, soothe, and offer support. This tangible resource includes a “52+ Reasons to Live” deck of cards, infographic on depression, list of mental health resources, posters, stickers, bracelet, mixtape, a letter, and a whole bunch of other good vibes. The boxes are intended to be organic in the sense that each person can add their own anchors and inspiration to the box before passing it along for someone else. Our boxes are in every state, 36+ countries, hundreds of schools, and have been requested by thousands of young people.
