What is Grit?

 Grit is not blind determination that keeps going at all costs. 

Instead, I created G.R.I.T.: Goals, Relationships, Intentions, and Time Away.

 Statistics show that grit and hope are in short supply – especially in today’s youth. At the same time, experts at the Suicide Prevention Resource Center recognize, “Resilience—the ability to cope with adversity and adapt to change—is a protective factor against suicide risk.”

My Grit and suicide prevention work is all in honor of Jack, the best show choir and ukulele partner I will ever have. He is my reason to ensure others have a superhero no matter their struggle.
