WELCOME TO INVISIBLE BULLYING AND SUICIDE
I AM INVISIBLE BULLYING AND SUICIDE, a 501 c (3) non-profit organization founded by Sharon Kaye Edwards and Ellery Edwards in 2018, is dedicated to supporting youth and young adults who feel “invisible” and voiceless, with a strong focus on mental health. Our diverse K-12 workshops include culinary arts, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), and programs aimed at improving educational skills in math, reading, and science. We also conduct self-esteem workshops incorporating arts and music to further build self-worth and confidence among our participants.
Through our collaboration with community partners, such as the Merry in God Saturday School program focusing on reading and math, and our partnership with the University of Tennessee Extension Montgomery County, we provide access to literacy programs that support the educational needs of our youth. These partnerships are essential in advancing our initiatives and ensuring their success.
In collaboration with SKE Publishing, we create K-12 curricula aimed at enhancing self-care skills and promoting mental health awareness, thereby supporting students’ overall development. Our program has actively participated in events such as the “Mental Health Forum” at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN. Additionally, Mrs. Edwards addressed the Vanderbilt University football team in Nashville, TN, discussing crucial themes of leadership and empowerment.
As we continue to expand our programs, we are actively raising funds to support these vital initiatives. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our donors for their generous contributions, which have been instrumental in helping us raise funds through events like the Fire and Ice Ball. Save the date for our 2nd Annual Fire and Ice Ball on February 15, 2025, with the theme “The Roaring 20s.” Your support is crucial in helping us foster emotional well-being and creative expression within our community.
To volunteer or make a donation, please use the contact or donate buttons on our website.
Below, we provide a glimpse into our 1st Annual Fire and Ice Ball in 2024. Our mission is to make a meaningful difference, one voice at a time, by continually developing and expanding our programs to meet the diverse needs of our community.
