Executive Summary

The Voice of Kindness is an innovative crisis-intervention training program designed to equip everyday individuals, community leaders, church members, and professionals with practical, compassionate tools to recognize, respond to, and reduce suicide ideation.

Suicide continues to rise across communities, fueled by emotional pain, relational isolation, and unaddressed mental health struggles. Many individuals in crisis go unnoticed or unsupported due to limited awareness, insufficient training, or barriers to timely access to professional care. Churches, community organizations, and local leaders are uniquely positioned to serve as frontline responders—yet most lack accessible, practical, and spiritually sensitive tools to intervene effectively.

Funding will support program expansion, including an online learning platform, additional curriculum modules, facilitator training, and increased workshop availability for churches, nonprofits, and community organizations. With your support, The Voice of Kindness will equip communities to recognize crisis early, intervene compassionately, and save lives through practical skills and the transformative power of kindness.

  • The Voice of Kindness is a crisis-intervention training program designed to equip individuals with compassionate, practical tools to address suicide ideation. Through the BE KIND model and Think 3-2-1 Strategy, participants engage in hands-on scenario learning, building skills that support resiliency, recovery, and referral for those experiencing emotional or mental crises.

  • Become a Hope Connector and a Comfort Chain: The Voice of Kindness courses are designed to help someone in crisis to a place of safety.

    • Training is key. Providing refresher courses in crisis intervention can give people the confidence to respond well when someone is in distress.

    • Equip the saints. When believers are taught how to recognize signs (early, immediate, and imminent), how to engage in supportive dialogue, and where to direct someone for help, they become frontline responders—offering not judgment, but hope, help and healing.

    • Kindness saves lives. Small acts of empathy, listening without fixing, checking in on someone—these create space for healing and reduce isolation, a major factor in suicide ideation.  Our kindness should never be done alone. Never be the only one helping.

    • Grounding and Regulating Emotions matters. Prayer and Scripture are powerful—but they are most healing when paired with action, support, and follow up.

  • Mental illness and disorders account for 90% of those who die by suicide or attempt suicide, with the remaining 10% of cases remaining a mystery. Suicide is often shrouded in a BIG QUESTION MARK—leaving loved ones searching for answers. While eradicating suicide entirely may be an impossible task, reducing suicidal ideation and equipping the Church and community to intervene effectively can make a significant impact.

  • The Voice of Kindness intends to expand its reach beginning with community outreach and churches, where spiritually informed crisis intervention is both needed and mission-aligned. By forming partnerships with faith-based networks, community ministries, and nonprofit organizations, we aim to cultivate kindness-centered, proactive interventions that can reduce suicide ideation and support long-term healing.
