The Jason R Flood Memorial Fund provides resources, education, and outlets for teens, young adults, and parents. A safe space and open forum to learn more about various mental health issues and suicide prevention.
They organize and fund local music and athletic events to benefit local non-profit organizations with similar goals. Partner with mental health providers and organizations to help them build leadership and confidence in their young audience, allowing them to speak up and erase the stigma of mental health issues.
The Jason R Flood Memorial Fund was created after the suicide of Jason Flood, a Pinkerton graduate. He was a high-functioning, bright student, athlete, and musician with undiagnosed depression. The Flood family wants to raise awareness and the ability to speak up and reach out when warning signs are recognized.

Today, I speak with Doug Flood, Jason's father, and Rebecca Solomons, a high school student who is currently involved with Pizzastock, among other events put on by the Jason R. Flood Memorial. I appreciate them being on the show and talking to me about how music is benefiting local youth.
