Our Mission
We fund mental health research, awareness and support.
On the 9th of August 2018, our wonderful Max died by suicide. Max had been struggling for a year with clinical depression and despite regular counselling, medication and total family support, he could not be saved.
Suicide is a hugely sensitive, complex issue with a multitude of causes. The very nature of a death by suicide means we can never fully know the reasons behind it.
The Mindstep Foundation has been established following Max’s passing to fund research into the causes of suicide and support those who have been bereaved by or are at risk of suicide.
By funding research into the causes of suicide, and working to raise awareness of both the warning signs and consequences of mental health conditions going untreated, the Mindstep Foundation aims to break the stigma attached to admitting, confronting and dealing with mental health issues, especially in young men.
As Max’s family, our mission is to take steps, however small, towards ensuring that no one suffers the loss of a loved one to suicide. Your support in helping to abate this terrible epidemic is very much appreciated.
