  Shout Out Loud Suicide Prevention is a 501(c)3 organization located in Minneapolis, MN made up of volunteers who are deeply interested in the mission of our nonprofit.The mission of Shout Out Loud is to bring awareness to suicide prevention in our local community, normalize the conversation about suicide prevention and encourage participation in community resources. Our event teaches coping skills and everyday activities that help with a person's mental wellness. Our target populations include children and young adults in the Twin Cities area. Currently, we hold a yearly event with 2,000+ attendees. We provide resources and connections to other programs that promote the same wellness values. Think of a backyard carnival with fun games, activities and music, all the while teaching children and teens real life coping skills and to ‘Shout Out Loud’ (ask for help) when they need it! Through our services, we also participate as an informational booth at other resource events provided by local clinics and other nonprofits promoting mental wellness and/or suicide prevention.
