Survive the past. Conquer the future. Starting today.
Survive and Conquer exists to empower at-risk youth and young adults (14-30) recover from trauma and have mental resilience.
We serve young adults (ages 14–30), including those impacted by homelessness, incarceration or re-entry, dealing with mental health challenges, community trauma, lack of resources or stable support systems.
We are looking for organizations, corporations, investors to invest in the success of our communities and individuals ready to heal inside and wear messages of healing on the outside.
Our mission is to transform trauma into resilience.
We live our our mission by providing youth and young adults with healing, emotional development, life skills, and mentorship. These life skills break cycles of violence and build strong, stable futures.
This is not just our mission—it’s a calling that emerged while our founder, Rasheem Artis, miraculously recovered from a near-fatal attack in his youth.
We address mental health and trauma with compassion, awareness and effectiveness, and thereby reduce the stigma surrounding these issues as well.
Here, everyone feels heard and valued.
Get involved in the healing.
There are currently three ways you can help us help your community.
