OUR IMPACT

Project Semicolon's strategic drivers identified by the our Board of Directors guide the collaboration of staff and stakeholders in delivering the premier organization to educate communities worldwide, and save lives

For over a decade, Project Semicolon has been a beacon of hope, touching the lives of millions navigating mental health challenges and providing comfort to families and friends mourning the profound loss of a loved one to suicide. Returning to this deeply meaningful work has been not only a privilege but a heartfelt reminder of the power of community and compassion. Carrying forward Amy’s legacy has reignited our passion, breathing new life into the Project Semicolon family and strengthening our resolve to turn pain into purpose.

Project Semicolon’s return has been nothing short of transformative, marked by exponential community growth and a deepened impact on mental health awareness. With over 89,000 assessment tests completed and 5,336 journal entries shared, individuals are actively engaging in self-reflection and healing. Programs like Semicolon Helps have provided direct support to 214 individuals, while the Semicolon Tattoo program continues to inspire and unite communities worldwide.

Through innovative collaborations, such as semicolon badges in Apex Legends and Call of Duty—reaching over 1.3 million gamers—and the addition of 50 new chapters, our reach is broader than ever. With two groundbreaking studies now underway, we’re not just responding to today’s challenges but shaping the future of mental health advocacy. Together, we’re creating a movement of hope, resilience, and change.
