On World Su***de Prevention Day, we honor the strength it takes to survive, heal and keep choosing life.

Michael Finley, a Venture House member, reflects on some of the darkest periods of his life from isolation and hospitalization to surviving su***de attempts and how finding community helped him rebuild his life.

“Venture House is giving me my life back. It’s giving me my housing and it’s giving me the best family I could ask for.”

Sometimes hope begins with something simple-being seen, being needed and knowing you do not have to carry everything alone.
Today, we remember that connection can be life-changing. Community can be healing. And every life matters!
