Every Girl Deserves to See the Light Within Herself
Last year, 345 US teenage girls lost their lives to suicide.
Save lives.
Give the light of hope!
"I wasn’t planning on coming here tonight. In fact, as I walked into the library this afternoon, I made the plan to kill myself."
“I didn’t eat or smile. I felt trapped, and started to feel a lot of hopelessness. I started having thoughts of self-harm, thinking that cutting would take away my pain.”
“My interior life was dark and suffocating, but on the outside I was cool, calm, and collected. I had lost a lot of hope that my life was valuable…and struggled to love myself for that.”
The Crisis of Self-Worth
impacting the mental health of teenage girls.
Stories and statistics like these—from real teenage girls—are why the Light of Hope Campaign exists.
Girl Talk offers hope, support, and a path to healing for young women across the nation.
