Your Game Isn’t Over Yet; 🤍
We’re thrilled to announce the re-launch of our special collaboration, “Your Game Isn’t Over Yet;” with the wonderful team at Tiny Turnip! 🤝🏻 This collection holds a deeply meaningful purpose as it’s dedicated to raising awareness for mental health and suicide prevention in memory of Aaron Cox, Mike’s best friend and Jess’s beloved brother, who was lost to suicide in August 2018. Since that tragic day, the Trouts have learned that struggles with suicide and mental health are far too common amongst all communities.
That’s why we’ve joined hands with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) to reach out to those who may feel alone in their battles. The stigmas surrounding mental health can make it hard for people to speak up, but we believe that open conversations can save lives. 🗣️
Our artwork, beautifully created by Jess Trout, Rachel Luzi and Jalynne Crawford, features a powerful semicolon symbolizing the strength to continue writing our stories even when it feels overwhelming. We want everyone out there to know that it’s okay not to be okay and that seeking help is a courageous step. 🙏🏻
✨ 2020’s launch sparked incredible conversations about suicide and mental health. Hearing stories from strangers and loved ones reminded us of the importance of keeping this conversation alive and breaking the stigma. This year we’re relaunching with new artwork, featuring a “home plate” filled with names of those who are “missing” from our lives due to suicide. This plate stands as a reminder that support is all around, and help is available for anyone struggling.
Every “Your Game Isn’t Over Yet;” product purchased will make a difference, as 100% of profits will go to AFSP. They continue to fund research, educate the public, and advocate for crucial mental health policies.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for joining us on this journey. Your support means everything to us, and we pray that this collaboration touches the life of even one precious soul, altering their path for the better. 🙏🤍
You are loved, you are never alone, and together, “Your Game Isn’t Over Yet;” Let’s spread hope and support one another. 🫶🏼

A symbol of HOPE ❤️🏆
And a very special celebration for the power of positive psychology to help prevent suicide.
The evidence is in the science:
💛 Humans are wired for hope.
More hope = more resilience = more positive actions
💛 Conversations are protective
Talk about how you feel. Listen to others share how they feel.
Don’t ignore the problem just because you feel awkward or unsure.
Better to have a clumsy conversation if it could save a life.
💛 Feeling we belong matters
Get into community. Create community for others.
Humans need to feel part of something.
And remember… positive psychology is suicide prevention with a different name.
It’s never too soon or too late to start.
Pick up your copy of One More Day or download it on audible and start to make positive shifts, today.
Thank you to The Stevie Awards for recognizing the importance of this work in the world 🏆🌟

I recently helped raise funds, and participated in a walk hosted by @hardrockhcac for @afspnational — They really made such a heavy subject feel light. It was bittersweet, full of emotions like grief —yet balanced with hope, joy and love. It’s a fantastic organization, and I have so much respect for them. I will be more involved with them in the future. 🫶🏼
Their #OutOfTheDarkness Community Walks bring together loss survivors, suicide prevention advocates, and more to raise awareness, support one another, honor and remember loved ones, and fund critical efforts to protect mental health and prevent suicide. Take a moment this week to sign up for a Walk near you!
Whether you’ve lost a loved one or experienced your own personal struggles, I’m sending love today to everyone who has been touched by suicide.
Today and every day, AFSP is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide. They’re creating a culture that’s smart about mental health by engaging in funding scientific research, educating the public about mental health and suicide prevention, advocating for public policies in mental health and suicide prevention, and supporting survivors of suicide loss and those affected by suicide.

Thank you to the @afsp_lacentralcoast @bethflax @kellymanning_afsp American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Los Angeles for inviting me to be the keynote speaker at the Walk Out of the Darkness in Santa Monica.
Standing in a sea of people who have been touched by suicide was deeply moving. So many stories. So much courage.
For LGBTQ+ people, suicide isn’t just about feeling out of place. It’s about growing up believing that something is wrong with us. That shame can seep so deep into our bones that it becomes the baseline of how we see ourselves.
That’s why conversations like this matter. When we bring these truths into the open, shame starts to lose its power.
Thank you, AFSP, for creating space for honesty, hope, and healing. 🌈💜
