THE PROJECT
Our Story
How We Got Started
BL & Brenda George, the founders of S.T.O.P, a 501(c)(3) organization formed in 2018, started a campaign that collaborated with more than 35 local agencies in Brazoria County to host youth rallies and school events that focus on suicide prevention, anti-bullying, cyber-bullying awareness and intervention.
Where We Are Now
S.T.O.P. is now in partnership with a host of school districts across Texas and the collaborations continue to grow exponentially. We have affected thousands of children who were coping with depression and who were at high risk of suicidal behaviors.
Our Goals
S.T.O.P. intends to grow this campaign across the United States of America and beyond its borders. Children are highly susceptible to emotional pain and mental illness that can be caused by many external factors that are rampant in today’s society and many internal factors that are easily combated. The impact on our communities has been mostly ignored and our children are crying out to be heard. They need to STOP•TALK•OVERCOME•PAIN.
