80% of youth who die by suicide gave verbal warning signs.
Prevention is possible.
In 2019, Carol and Brendan Deely founded Gabriel’s Light in honor of their son who died by suicide at age 12. In honor of Gabe and all those lost to suicide, they share their journey with the hope that others may learn and grow from their tragedy. Through outreach, programs, partnerships, and funding, they raise awareness and inspire youth, parents, and educators to take action and help forward their mission.
Our Youth Ambassador Program was designed to engage students in our mission and harness peer-to-peer communication as a powerful suicide prevention tool. Participants earn volunteer hours, learn skills, and contribute to an important cause.
Sessions include training and practice with a variety of skills including hosting a fundraiser, social media, and self-care practices.
