Info
CameronHelps’ mission is to help prevent youth suicide by saving one life at a time.
A beacon of light in the darkness, we will work to reduce stigma, build awareness, and promote physical and mental health. We want youth to feel “unbreakable.”
We envision a society where no stigma surrounds youth mental health and suicide. A society in which all youth can receive the help they need, and youth with mental illness can move forward to lead meaningful and productive lives. If we achieve this, we will reduce youth suicide.
THERE IS HOPE
We’re achieving our mission by helping young people with programs such as Team Unbreakable. Along with our other activities and resources, it is designed to help reduce the stigma, and build awareness, of youth depression and suicide. The focus of our Team Unbreakable program is on how physical activity – such as running – can often help reduce depression and improve mental health in young people.
Physical health for mental health.
HOW WE HELP
We provide resources, including general awareness and links to research and additional sources, via this website. Our annual Team Unbreakable Run/Walk on Father’s Day encourages broad participation, raises money, and helps bring people closer to the issues while also raising awareness and helping reduce the stigma.
Current research shows that there is a strong link between physical fitness and mental health. Exercise offers a complimentary, or sometimes alternate, approach to conventional therapy methods, including drug therapy
Our Team Unbreakable Youth Running Therapy Program and Motivation thru Movement programs provide at-risk youth with a positive experience as well as many important skills to help youth address the issues they face.
Our Team Unbreakable high school presentation tackles many misconceptions about youth depression and suicide, and provides an uplifting and encouraging message.
We have the additional goal of establishing a network of therapists, along with a pool of funds to help youth with financial needs get the assistance they require.
