Welcome to the Carson J Spencer Foundation

The Carson J Spencer Foundation envisions a world where leaders and communities are committed to sustaining a passion for life. 

 

 

                   Many thanks to Chris and Steve Sealy and Denver Film and Digital for supporting us and donating their time to help create the "Suicide Affects Everyone" video for YouTube.

We sustain a passion for life through:

• Delivering innovative and effective suicide prevention programs for working-aged people
• Coaching young leaders to develop social enterprises for mental health promotion and suicide prevention
• Supporting people bereaved by suicide.

“[Bipolar disorder] is an illness that is biological in its origins, yet one that feels psychological in the experiences of it; an illness that is unique in conferring advantage and pleasure, yet one that brings in its wake almost unendurable suffering, and not infrequently, suicide.”

-- Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison, Ph.D., An Unquiet Mind
