Why We’re Here

It’s time to break the stigma and address the mental health crisis in the United States.

According to Save.org, death by suicide is the second leading cause of death for those between the ages of 15-24 – and it’s the leading cause of death in the U.S. overall.

Our mission is to provide suicide awareness and prevention education, promote positive mental health and wellness and to destigmatize mental health diagnoses and treatments.

Enough is Enough

The numbers speak for themselves. Suicide rates for young people in the United States are on the rise at an alarming rate. Enter HERE4AREASON (H4AR), a nonprofit organization preventing suicide while promoting mental health wellness.


Because, it’s time to combat those startling statistics.

Since 2018, H4AR has raised funds to provide education events, mental health support, counseling services, guest speakers and running programs within Greenwood, South Carolina’s education system. Each fall, the organization sponsors a 5K race, where runners and walkers alike can participate in memory of a loved one.


Call 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline

If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts or ideation, dial 988 to reach the national Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Help is available 24-7.

Are You With Us?

The death by suicide rates are both staggering and disturbing. Going off the numbers alone, nearly everyone has been impacted by suicide at some point in their lives. Through education, special events and mental health awareness efforts, led by H4AR, it’s our hope that others will join our mission – knowing they are here, in this world, for a purpose.


Your Life Matters

Be here tomorrow.

Our message to everyone is simple: you are loved. You are enough. You are Here 4 A Reason. Mental health makes a major impact on everyone’s lives, and it’s our sincere privilege to provide support and care to those who need it.
