The David Whitehead Foundation is about both funding and creating community awareness for mental health, substance misuse and the lasting effects it has on families.  Funds that are raised are to be donated to charities who specialize in supporting and providing mental health and drug addiction awareness. Additional initiatives to bring awareness to communities will be through speaking engagements with both guest speakers and the telling of David's story to both educate and provide strength for those fighting unseen battles.

​

David Whitehead lost his battle with mental health and drug addiction in July of 2019 after many up and down years  including depression and overall difficulty finding his way out of the darkness. David was someone who had the biggest heart and would show care for others before his own well-being. He would go out of his way to help someone in need as evidenced through his social work, and involvement with local homeless shelters.

 "NEVER STOP FIGHTING"

Find strength to surround yourself with a network of those who can be supportive and assist in the battle and tribulations that mental health present, and above all, never  stop fighting. This is what The David Whitehead Foundation will look to provide for those in need.

​

GOALS

Goal of the David Whitehead Foundation is to support organizations that will directly impact families and communities that are fighting an uphill battle against mental illness and substance misuse and bring education to those in need. It is important to note, family, support networks, colleagues, and friends of those who fight unseen battles, must continue to give strength and support, as well as never giving up on those in need. Let us continually look for alternative solutions, even if someone refuses to let you in.

​

Never stop loving, no matter how difficult it may seem, and when called upon, be there, as an ear, a shoulder to cry on, or just in physical presence. Provide love, empathy, and compassion through the most difficult of challenges.

Wishing all, love, peace, and strength. God Bless.
