Sam was a young adventurous man who seemed to love life and pretty much every person in it. A lack of friends was definitely not an issue for Sam. Around 1200 people visited the funeral home after hearing of his passing because a world without Sam seemed inconceivable. From the outside looking in, Sam was a happy go lucky guy with everything to live for. However, there was obviously something very serious going on within him, and a world without Sam had to become a reality.
We will never have all the answers concerning his death and instead hope to save as many others suffering as we can with the knowledge we have now gained. Through the work of the SAM foundation we aspire to bring hope to the hopeless and prevent another tragedy like Sam’s in the future.
The SAM Foundation offers suicide prevention education, resources, & awareness in Georgia, Alabama and surrounding areas. We also reach across the country with certain virtual programs.
The mission of the SAM Foundation is to prevent suicide through public awareness and education by equipping our communities with the skills to intervene in a suicidal crisis. Our hope is to change the way our communities view mental health and serve as a resource to those who have been affected by suicide, therefore making our communities more suicide safe.
The SAM Foundation believes all members of communities play a vital role in suicide prevention. Through our evidence- based trainings, the SAM Foundation reaches a variety of community members, corporate groups, educators, first responders and mental health professionals.
