The JOY Campaign

Cook Children’s JOY Campaign is a suicide prevention initiative that aims to encourage hope and resilience among children and teens. The number of children and teens suffering from anxiety, stress and depression is skyrocketing. The JOY Campaign is designed to bring hope and needed resources to children and families facing struggles and dark times in their lives. A big part of this campaign is our Raising Joy podcast, which is one of the ways that we directly communicate with our community. With hosts Wini King and Dr. Kristen Pyrc, Raising Joy explores the topics of anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and suicide in a frank, empathetic, and informative fashion. If you or anyone you know would benefit from listening in then you can find us here!
