Description

Behind the Smiles, the Darius Roberts Foundation, was founded by Kristi Roberts in memory of her son, Darius, who passed away by suicide. Our mission is to promote mental health awareness, suicide prevention, and emotional well-being through education, community engagement, and therapeutic programs. We offer initiatives like The Gift of Therapy, which provides three free therapy sessions each year to two individuals in need. Our annual event, held each November, showcases the healing power of various therapies, including music, art, fitness, and pet therapy, while fostering connections within the community. We’ve partnered with local organizations, artists, and law enforcement to create a supportive, stigma-free environment for mental health discussions. Our goal is to continue expanding our programs, providing accessible mental health resources, and saving lives by bringing hope to those who need it most. Join us in making a difference-together, we can help people find light even in their darkest moments.
