The Shaun Rocco Foundation was formed in 2019 after the loss of my son, Shaun to suicide.
Following Shaun's passing, I wanted to do something to honor him, while also raising awareness to mental health and suicide prevention.
Because of Shaun's love of basketball, family & friends organized what's become an annual basketball tournament and community awareness event.
I also decided to form the Shaun Rocco Foundation, with a goal of helping others suffering in silence, and to support suicide prevention.
Starting the Foundation has helped me with my healing process after losing Shaun by knowing that in some way he and this effort are helping others.
My hope and mission are to build community support and awareness, while empowering others to talk about mental health. It is OK to ask for help. We all must manage our mental health. Noone should ever feel alone. Help and support is available. Let's get connected to one other.
