Why We Exist

SUICIDE PREVENTION WHERE WORK AND LIFE COLLIDE.

At DKY, we believe that suicide prevention and mental wellness are a public health, workplace safety, and community responsibility. We support people in high-demand, high-stress environments by equipping workplaces and communities with practical, presence-based tools to prevent suicide.

DKY focuses on helping people show up for one another before, during, and after moments of crisis. That involves practical tools, education, and presence-based support. Rather than focusing solely on prediction, we focus on being there when it matters most, reducing stigma, and creating cultures where support feels safe, normal, and accessible.

Take Action

Our Mission

DKY Foundation exists to prevent suicide in our hardest-working, yet most vulnerable populations by strengthening presence, connection, and early intervention—at work and in the community—before moments become emergencies.

Our Vision

DKY Foundation envisions a world where suicide awareness and prevention are built into how we work, live, and care for one another—so that no one faces a crisis moment alone.

Core Values

Human First
We see people, not problems—risk arises from conditions, not character.

Shared Responsibility
Suicide prevention is collective; no one should carry it alone.

Presence Over Perfection
Showing up matters more than having the perfect words or credentials.

Action Grounded in Evidence
We align our work with validated research, not fear or speculation.

Respect For Lived Experience
Those closest to pain hold insight essential to prevention.
