About umttr
umttr was founded in response to the tragic suicide of a fellow student, athlete, and friend by the students and families of Winston Churchill High School in Montgomery County, Maryland. umttr empowers schools and youth athletic organizations with the funds, information, and tools they need to create a positive compassionate culture where every person matters. We aim to place mental well-being and caring support at the forefront of teens’ daily interactions.

Join The Conversation
The Change Direction is a collection of concerned citizens, nonprofit leaders, and leaders from the private sector who have come together to create a new story in America about mental health, mental illness, and wellness. The Change Direction initiative is sparking a movement by bringing together this unprecedented and diverse group of leaders to: free us to see our mental health as having equal value to our physical health; create a common language that allows us to recognize the signs of emotional suffering in ourselves and others; and, encourage us to care for our mental well-being and the mental well-being of others. As a founding member of the campaign to Change Direction, umttr supports the mission of the initiative and works to reduce the stigma of mental illness with the message #ChangeMentalHealth.

Why Donate?
Donors and contributors can be assured that umttr supports ONLY evidence-based, researched, young adult specific programs. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide is the second leading cause of death among ages 10 – 34. Funds will therefore be specifically earmarked for teen/young adult suicide prevention programs that have been researched and proven effective.
