DIFD is a grassroots organization that can only survive because of the love and dedication of our supporters and sponsors. Eliminating the stigma of youth mental illness is a big task and we need your help.
Below are some ideas of how you can help - maybe by hosting or attending a community event; joining the Power to the Purple movement by spreading the DIFD message at your school, workplace, or in your community; donating; or purchasing some of our amazing and stylish DIFD merchandise.
“Every hour you volunteer and dollar you donate will help DIFD continue to transform youth mental health.”
