The Grapple; 4 Life Foundation (G4L) is focused on improving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide. G4L utilizes the amazing culture and mental/physical health benefits of Jiu Jitsu/Grappling to create a support structure for those struggling and to assist those that have suffered a loss by suicide by engaging in the following core principles:

​

• Sponsoring youths and adults that have a higher risk factor for suicide (Depression, foster care, personal loss by suicide, etc.) and getting them training at an academy approved by Grapple; 4 Life.

• Providing educational material about mental health, suicide prevention, and suicide loss. 

• Advocating with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) for public policies in mental health and suicide prevention.

 

If you are interested in hosting, instructing, volunteering, participating in future Grapple; 4 Life events, or have questions regarding sponsorship opportunities, please contact us.
