Thrive was started in 2021 by the mother and friends of a young Mizzou Magna Cum Laude graduate who hung himself a few weeks after graduation.. As stated by the surgeon general COVID has triggered an adolescent and young adult mental health crisis. Seeing a need for advocacy for young adults, we formed our organization to provide solutions.

We hope to make connections to the enthusiastic recovery for adolescents and young adults that will make the long-lasting difference in their lives, and help them #Thrive into adulthood.
