2026

Teen Suicide Prevention

Working toward strong and engaged communities has been in the Scripps family’s DNA since Edward W. Scripps started a media empire that married a well-informed citizenry with a vibrant marketplace for advertisers. But a community can’t be strong and healthy when its youngest members wrestle with the worst-imaginable internal struggles.

That’s why the Scripps Family Impact Fund is focusing its 2026 efforts on preventing teen suicide.

Supporting charities dedicated to prevention can save lives by funding education, crisis intervention, and mental health resources that many teens need. Adolescence is a vulnerable stage marked by emotional change and social pressure, making early support and counseling vital. Charities working in this space tackle such important roles as reducing stigma around mental health, promoting awareness in schools, and training adults to recognize warning signs. Investing in these organizations sends a clear message that every young life matters to the Scripps family. By supporting prevention efforts, we want to create hope, healthiness and resilience while building a future where no teenager feels alone or helpless.
