Hope Unite International Expands Its Mental Health Initiatives to Empower Communities Both Across South Florida and Nationwide

Hope Unite International, a prominent non-profit organization dedicated to mental health and trauma support, is proud to announce several new and expanded initiatives aimed at fostering community support, emotional well-being, and suicide prevention. With the alarming global statistic that every 40 seconds someone takes their own life, Hope Unite’s mission is more critical than ever. The organization continues to spread hope through various efforts which serve as tangible reminders of individual worth and a means to connect people to vital resources.

Kids for Kindness Initiative

One of the flagship programs of Hope Unite, “Kids for Kindness” is designed to teach young children emotional intelligence and healthy coping mechanisms. The program is designed for early developmental years, and aligns with scientific research showing the benefits of consistent healthy habits on brain development. This initiative addresses the critical need for early mental health education and aims to prevent teen suicide by instilling positive social skills from a young age. Each program package costs $50, and Hope Unite seeks financial supporters to help fund this life-saving initiative.

Hope Ambassadors Program

The “Hope Ambassador” program is another cornerstone of Hope Unite’s outreach efforts. Tailored specifically for musicians, athletes, celebrities and other influencers, this initiative enlists them to act as community advocates for Hope Unite and helping us spread awareness about mental health issues and offer support to those in need. Ambassadors play a vital role in distributing “You Matter” seeded cards, which serve as a symbol of hope and understanding, as well as helping spread the message of love and connection that Hope Unite promotes.

Hope Unite Support Network

The Hope Unite Support Network is a comprehensive directory of businesses and professionals committed to providing mind, body, and spirit health services. Members of our network offer discounted services to those referred by the Hope Unite network, ensuring that individuals have access to the support they need. The network encompasses a wide range of services from mental health counseling to holistic therapies, aiming to foster a supportive community where everyone can find the help they need during challenging times. This initiative is crucial in extending Hope Unite’s mission of spreading kindness and supporting trauma survivors.

“C.O.P.E.” Grief Support Book Club

Understanding the profound impact of grief firsthand, Hope Unite has established the “C.O.P.E. Grief Support Book Club”. “Comforting Others through Personal Experience” or the “C.O.P.E. Book Club” provides a safe space for individuals to explore their emotions through literature, fostering healing and community among those who have experienced loss. The book club will begin to meet via Zoom on July 7^th, and will meet weekly from 7 to 8 pm to discuss selected books and share personal experiences.

Hope Unite invites the community to get involved in these transformative initiatives. Whether through volunteering, becoming a sponsor, or simply sharing the message of hope, every contribution makes a difference. “We believe in the transformative power of kindness and emotional support,” said Crystal Adams-Scott, Executive Director of Hope Unite.”Our goal is to reach 100,000 individuals by the end of 2024, and with the community’s help, we can create a ripple effect of positive change.”

Hope Unite invites individuals, businesses, and organizations to join the movement by volunteering, sponsoring, or sharing “You Matter” cards. Join Hope Unite in their mission to create a world where everyone feels valued and supported. Together, we can make a significant impact in preventing suicides and supporting trauma survivors.
