About Us

In the aftermath of a suicide, family, friends and communities respond in different ways. When Connor Ball died by suicide in October of 2011, his family and friends decided that no one else should experience such a profound and life-altering loss. Connor’s Climb Foundation is the result of their love of Connor and their commitment to end youth suicide.

Since then, Connor’s Climb Foundation has grown into a force for positive mental health awareness and youth suicide prevention across the Granite State. With full-time staff, a committed Board of Directors, and numerous volunteers, supporters, and sponsors, the Foundation continues to pursue its lifesaving vision and mission to help protect the next generation.

The mission of Connor’s Climb Foundation is to provide suicide prevention education by raising awareness, reducing stigma, and equipping youth, educators, and the community at large with tools and resources focused on the vulnerable age group of 10-24 year-olds, to New Hampshire and bordering communities.
