KYLIE
IOWA AMBASSADOR

I first saw the igysp table set up at our mental health fair at school. I loved the purpose behind the project, and signed up to be an ambassador later that day. Later that year I lost a friend to suicide. It was sudden, and it affected many people in the community. Whenever you are close to someone who takes their own life, you ask yourself what you could’ve done in order to prevent it. I wasn’t able to help him then, but i took the qpr training a few months later so that I could help other people now. I really do love this project, and it means a lot to me!
