Find Your Anchor

Find Your Anchor (FYA) is a grassroots nonprofit aimed at suicide prevention, awareness, and education. With creativity and a personal touch, FYA aims to support those who may be struggling and de-stigmatize conversations surrounding suicide and mental health. At the heart of Find Your Anchor’s mission is a small blue box. Once referred to as a “mental health first aid kit,” each box is packed with good vibes and materials designed to inspire, soothe, and offer support. This tangible resource includes a “52+ Reasons to Live” deck of cards, infographic on depression, list of mental health resources, posters, stickers, bracelet, mixtape, a letter, and a whole bunch of other good vibes. The boxes are intended to be organic in the sense that each person can add their own anchors and inspiration to the box before passing it along for someone else. There are over 82,000 Find Your Anchor boxes in the world. Our boxes are in communities nationwide, hundreds of schools, two different languages, and have been personally requested by thousands of people.
