Information
Make understanding
more accessible.
Clear mental health information can give someone a place to begin. We aim to make it easier to explore questions, understand options, and prepare for conversations about care.
Our prevention mission
Help more stories
keep going.
Project Semicolon exists to help people navigate mental health challenges, find connection, and see a future for their story.
We bring that mission to life through accessible information, community programs, and advocacy.
A deeply personal meaning.
Why we do this
A difficult chapter deserves understanding, connection, and care.
Prevention starts
before a breaking point.
It can begin with an honest conversation. With language for something that has been hard to explain. With a person who listens, or a clearer way to ask for support.
It also means paying attention to the circumstances people live with: isolation, inequality, barriers to care, and the places where support is missing.
Our prevention mission connects these everyday moments with a wider responsibility—to build communities and systems where people have more ways to keep going.
How belief becomes action
One mission.
Three ways forward.
Information, programs, and advocacy each serve a different purpose. Together, they connect personal understanding with community action.
Make understanding
Programs
Build pathways
to connection.
Our programs create ways to reflect, share experiences, and connect with others. From Semicolon Journey to groups and chapters, the aim is to help people find a next step that fits their lives.

Work toward
better conditions.
Our mission includes addressing barriers to care and bringing mental health into decisions made in schools, communities, and public life. We advocate for conditions that make support more accessible and prevention a shared priority.

Lived experience
belongs here.
People bring different backgrounds, beliefs, losses, and reasons for reaching out. Each person’s experience deserves to be heard with care.
We want those experiences to inform the questions we ask, the resources we create, and the connections we make. The meaning of the semicolon will always be personal.
Read community stories
Different lives. A shared need to be heard.
The way we want to work
Care shows up
in the details.
Our mission should be felt in how someone reads a resource, shares an experience, or chooses a next step.
Clarity.
Use language people can understand and organize information around the questions they actually have.
Dignity.
Speak about mental health and suicide with care, and respect the person behind every experience.
Choice.
Give people room to explore, participate, and share at their own pace, with a clear sense of their options.
Honesty.
Be clear about what information and community support can offer, and where professional care or urgent help is needed.
