Give Miami Day is here, and when you give to YES Institute, you make this work possible.

So far in 2026, YES Institute has reached 3,835 participants across 109 events, with over 300 hours of education, dialogue, and connection. From graduate students and mental health professionals to corporate workplaces and families, our programs have reached audiences across South Florida, building understanding and enhancing belonging.

Through educational programs focused on communication, well-being, gender, orientation, and neurodiversity, YES Institute creates opportunities for individuals to challenge assumptions, strengthen relationships, and develop a deeper understanding of others. These conversations are an important part of suicide prevention, helping to reduce stigma and create environments where people feel supported and connected.

A participant in Communication Solutions™ shared:

“I’m leaving here with so much hope. It was so powerful to hear testimonials and support each other in navigating tough relationships. There was so much grace and love.”

Another, reflecting on a well-being program, shared:

“This was very helpful in terms of giving me real tools to handle my workplace and well-being challenges.”

The impact of these programs extends far beyond the courses themselves. Participants carry what they learn into their homes, school communities, workplaces, and neighborhoods, creating opportunities for greater understanding, bridge-building, and connection.

This is what your gift sustains. Every participant reached, every conversation started, every family supported is made possible by people who choose to invest in this work.

This Give Miami Day, your support helps YES Institute reach new audiences, deepen our programs, and advance suicide prevention through communication and understanding. Every gift, of any size, makes a difference.
