When Aaron Burgin’s brother committed suicide seven years ago, Aaron wanted to understand what his brother was going through. When he searched suicide on the internet, however, he found only harmful topics and advice, nothing to help a suicidal person find help. As a result, Aaron formed Suicide sucks, a nonprofit that uses SEO and digital marketing technology to locate and provide resources for people like Aaron’s brother. A self-styled “Suicide Prevention Strategist,” Aaron works to help identify suicidal tendencies before they reach life-threatening levels.
