TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA

Jeepers Preventing Suicide, Inc. (JPS) is a non-profit organization established with the mission to prevent suicide by breaking down the associated stigma and promoting open discussions about mental health issues. Founded in Florida on August 9, 2016, JPS was inspired by personal tragedies experienced by its founder, Brad Boyer, who suffered losses within his community due to suicides related to depression and other mental disorders. Located in Tallahassee, Leon County, the organization extends beyond the local Jeep enthusiast community into broader support networks for individuals affected by suicide. Under the leadership of a dedicated founding board, JPS operates with a vision to provide hope and healing for those impacted by suicide loss. Key figures in its establishment include Brad Boyer as President, Kim Boyer as one of the founding board members who brings insight from personal experiences with depression and anxiety, Lisa Felder as Secretary drawing upon her extensive non-profit sector experience, and Brin Kelly serving as Treasurer alongside his role on the board. JPS is committed to connecting resources for those struggling with mental health challenges and educating people about warning signs of suicide. The organization has maintained an active legal status, last reinstated on October 2, 2023, with its next annual report scheduled for January 8, 2025. While the website jeeperspreventingsuicide.com hosts informational content, it advises against using the site as a substitute for professional mental health advice or emergency services. JPS fosters an inclusive approach to suicide prevention, inviting everyone to join their cause and end the silence surrounding this critical issue.
