Nerds Never Say Die is a Las Vegas based nonprofit dedicated to mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
I started Nerds Never Say Die to help those who can’t afford therapy get therapy through fundraising efforts driven by my podcast because I believe that EVERYONE should go to therapy at least once per month. I’ve battled with mental illness since I was 14 and therapy has saved my life more than once. As a suicide survivor, I know how hopeless life can feel and I just want to help others get the help I have because no one should ever be afraid to ask for help with their smile.
