Wellness Beyond LLJC was created in loving memory of the founder's daughter, Jenzele Couassi. It was built from a deep belief in honesty, healing, and real connection.

We know life can get heavy sometimes. No child, teen, or family should have to go through difficult seasons alone. That's why we focus on giving young people practical coping tools, safe spaces to talk and be heard, and support for navigating grief, anxiety, bullying, and other challenges. Our goal is to help youth feel stronger, more grounded, and less alone — one step at a time.

You Are Not Alone

Suicide awareness & prevention

Suicide affects individuals, families, and communities. Many people struggle with overwhelming emotions, stress, grief, trauma, bullying, anxiety, depression, or feelings of hopelessness.

Warning signs may include

  • Talking about feeling hopeless or being a burden
  • Withdrawal from friends, family, or activities
  • Significant changes in sleep or mood
  • Increased anxiety, anger, or emotional distress
  • Giving away possessions or saying goodbye
  • Expressing thoughts of self-harm or suicide

You can help save a life

  • Listen without judgment
  • Take concerns seriously
  • Encourage professional support
  • Stay connected and check in
  • Know local and crisis resources
  • Remind others they are not alone
