Youth Speak. We Listen.

The support you need is only a click away.

For far too long kids and young adults have been taught that sharing their challenges was a sign of weakness. Keshawn’s Korner empowers youth facing mental health challenges in a safe, supportive environment.

A Heartfelt Mission.

Don’t face mental health, depression, or Helplessness alone

In Keshawn’s Korner, our purpose is to educate individuals in underserved communities on the hidden aspects of mental health, while also raising awareness for suicide prevention. We strive to offer ongoing support and establish a secure network of resources and aid.

My goal in starting this community was to let the passing of my son be the guide that gives hope to those feeling hopeless and to provide help to those feeling helpless. I want my son’s death to serve as a breath of life, if one life can help save another, then his mission is complete.

In Keshawn’s Korner, you are safe and free from judgment. You can exhale and release all of your thoughts and fears, knowing there is someone to listen and someone who cares. In Keshawn’s Korner you will know that it is okay to admit you are not okay. We will never give up on you.

We want to help you identify certain behaviors and/or settings that place you in an uncomfortable space mentally, and then learn how to compartmentalize your emotions in a positive healthy manner. We want to help you climb your steepest mountain, overcome your biggest obstacle, and defeat your tallest giant.

In the end, Keshawn’s Korner is here to assure you that your life matters and you are worth it.

Programs

Year-long mentoring and support programs.

We promote awareness of youth mental health, particularly in disadvantaged communities. Our goal is to create open communication forums that enable individuals to confront their mental health issues with the support of their peers and others who have faced similar challenges.
