OUR MISSION

To increase awareness of youth suicide through evidence‑based research, empowering the youth through education, training, and understanding of factors that contribute to suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Implementing movement‑focused programs that use physical activity as a protective factor - reducing depression, strengthening mental health, and fostering resilience.

HOW WE DO IT

Awareness

Driving public understanding of youth suicide through evidence-based research and open conversation. Breaking the silence that costs lives.

Education

Empowering youth and communities with training, tools, and knowledge to recognize warning signs and intervene before crisis.

Movement

Using physical activity as a protective factor—structured programs that reduce depression, build resilience, and give young people an outlet.

Published Meta-Analysis

The crisis is now.

So is the opportunity.

Youth mental health has reached a tipping point. But research shows that early intervention, education, and physical activity can fundamentally change outcomes. The Landon Robinson Foundation exists to put that research into action—meeting young people where they are with programs that protect and empower.
