D.I.F.D. is a youth-driven initiative focused on raising awareness and inspiring conversations about youth mental health. Created by friends and family of Daron Richardson who lost her life to suicide at a young age, D.I.F.D. is inspired by hope for a future where young people will reach out for help without fear or shame. D.I.F.D. supports programs and initiatives aimed at transforming youth mental health.
IsIt Just Me? Conversations about Mental Health is one such project being support by D.I.F.D. Is It Just Me? provides mental health awareness and education to high school students. The goal of this program is to inspire open conversations about youth mental health and to break down the barriers of silence so that youth who are depressed or anxious feel free to talk about it. Ultimately, we hope this will contribute to earlier identification and treatment of mental illness among youth in our community – the earlier a mental illness is treated, the better the chance for recovery.
