Abstract
The NAN Project, based in Massachusetts, is dedicated to promoting mental health awareness and suicide prevention among young people through a peer-to-peer model. Founded by Ellen Dalton after the tragic loss of her daughter, Nan, the organization works to open up conversations around mental health, reduce stigma, and provide support to those struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. The project offers educational programs in schools, aiming to provide hope and empower students to seek help. The senior leadership team includes professionals with diverse backgrounds in mental health, education, and advocacy, all working to create a safer and more supportive environment for youth.
