Devon C Rubenstein Foundation

Our Mission

Devon C. Rubenstein Foundation raises funds for Montgomery County high school and middle school programs to promote mental well-being and prevent youth suicide. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young adults between the ages of 18 to 24. On a national level, a young adult dies by suicide every forty (40) seconds, and, for every successful attempt, there are twenty (20) attempted suicides. DCRF is solely funding the Our Minds Matter Program (“OMM”), www.ourmindsmatter.org which is a powerful and proven student-based club that provides our youth the opportunity to create a social climate of social connectedness, healthy habits, and coping skills. The program also educates the students on how to identify suicide warning signs and reach out to peers
