...preventing suicide? I want desperately to help prevent suicide, especially in teens. I've lost many friends to suicide and I'm sure it was because they weren't educated or treated for their mental illnesses. When I look online at questions on here and in other forums, most teens ask, "Do I have depression" and "How do I tell my parents I think I'm depressed".

I HAVE to do something for these kids. I need to educate them on warning signs, symptoms/diagnoses, how to talk to parents, teachers and friends about their feelings, how to afford and find treatment, how drugs and alcohol can aggravate or lead to symptoms, etc etc. I could have benefited greatly from an org like this when I was a teen- I have Bipolar disorder.

Please give me some step-by step instructions on how to start a non profit for this cause.
If there's an org that already does this, can you send me a link?
Thanks
