LEAD Pittsburgh is a great organization with a great vision in mental health. I have been involved with LEAD as a supporter and participant. I gave a public speech for their previous Coffee and Connect series in 2018 and was honored to be a part of such an amazing cause. Please consider supporting LEAD Pittsburgh!

Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Mental Health
Mission: Lead pittsburgh (lead) is a non-profit corporation founded to increase community understanding about issues relating to depression. Lead believes that depression can impact anyone in the community. The initial focus of lead was broad: to increase education and awareness about depression. Lead stressed the need to de-stigmatize depression. Lead has learned that 20% of college students present with depression. Concern for young adults resulted in lead's decision to focus on what could be done to make a difference for this population. College freshman face opportunity, excitement and challenge; launching a college career is fraught with excitement, transition, and change. Thus, it is a time of stress, which can lead to anxiety and depression.
Programs: Lead pittsburgh is a non-profit, community-based initiative established to increase community understanding about issues relating to depression.
