TEARS Organization

In the heart of Grand Forks, North Dakota, TEARS Organization is a beacon of compassion, strength, and unwavering hope. Born from the deep desire to support those affected by suicide loss, our mission is simple yet powerful: Create Hope. Build Strength. End Suicide. We believe that healing begins with community, and through heartfelt support groups, educational outreach, and purposeful events, we nurture safe spaces where stories can be shared, burdens can be lightened, and hope can begin to bloom. Every person we meet, every story we hear, becomes a part of the TEARS legacy: one of connection, courage, and care.

Our work goes beyond just raising awareness, it’s about changing lives. TEARS stands beside survivors, families, and advocates to help build the inner resilience needed to face grief and find purpose beyond pain. We equip individuals with tools for healing and empower communities with knowledge to prevent future loss. Together, we envision a future where no one feels alone in their struggle and where conversations around mental health and suicide prevention are met with empathy, education, and action. At TEARS, we’re not just an organization, we’re a movement of hope, strength, and life-saving change.
