Please Support Youth Mental Health
Adolescence is a time of heightened vulnerability to mental health challenges. In CDC's latest Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 40% of high school students reported persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, and 20% seriously considered suicide.
Please support youth mental health through a tax-deductible donation to the Jack Duffy Empowerment Foundation. We are a 501(c)3 focused on EMPOWERING YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH and supporting suicide awareness, research, and education.
About Jack
Jack was a brilliant student, a gifted athlete, and a genuine friend. He graduated with a Scholar’s Diploma from Hatboro-Horsham High School in 2017 and started at Dartmouth College that fall. In the meantime, he taught himself to code and developed several website businesses based on his desire to “serve, help, and empower others.” But Jack’s brilliant mind was suffering from clinical depression, and just after his 20th birthday he died from suicide. Jack will always be remembered by those who loved him and were touched by his kindness, sharp intellect, and unique insights - well beyond his years.
