Welcome to The HelpHUBâ„¢
Life can be hard.
And no matter who we are, we all face challenges. But the way we experience those challenges can look and feel very different depending on where we come from and what community we identify with.
Because even though so many of us struggle with the same things — mental illness, suicide, grief, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, or just the everyday weight of life — our experiences aren’t one-size-fits-all. We all need support that reflects who we are, how we identify, and what we’ve lived through.
That’s why The HelpHUB™ exists — to connect you with the individualized help that meets you exactly where you are in the moment. And it’s all free.
We’ve done the work for you, so that when you’re not ok, and you don’t know where to turn, help is only ever a click away. No searching, no guessing, no added stress. So explore our categories below to find the help you’re looking for to support your unique needs.
And don’t forget to bookmark our platform so you’ll always have the mental health resources, tools, treatment options, and content you need when you need it most.

Surviving: Finding Hope After Suicide Loss
A memoir about grief, healing, and finding your way forward.
In Surviving: Finding Hope After Suicide Loss, HelpHUBâ„¢ Founder Lisa Sugarman shares her deeply personal story of losing her father to suicide as a child and the decades-long journey of grief, healing, and resilience that followed.
Blending lived experience with compassion and insight, Surviving offers hope and understanding for anyone navigating suicide loss or supporting someone who is.
This book is for survivors, families, and anyone searching for a path forward after loss.
"As a mental health crisis among young people rages on, we need books like Surviving: Finding Hope After Suicide Loss. Sugarman’s powerful memoir peels back the curtain on the too often untold impacts of surviving suicide loss. This book takes readers on an unforgettable journey, and I am beyond grateful for this raw and honest work that both spotlights and supports people impacted by suicide loss."
—Jaymes Black, CEO of The Trevor Project
ONE DAY AT A TIME: A Grief Companion Journal from The HelpHUBâ„¢
The inaugural title in The HelpHUB™ library — the beginning of a growing collection of tools for healing and hope.
When you’re grieving, even the smallest things can feel heavy. I know, because my introduction to grief started over 45 years ago when I lost my father. And since then, I've lost countless immediate family members and friends. So I've had a lifelong relationship with grief.
This grief companion journal is something I wish I had when my dad died… so I made it so that others could have some extra help navigating grief.
Getting out of bed. Answering texts. Trying to explain how you’re doing when you don’t even know yourself. Most days, you’re just trying to make it through.
One day. One hour. Sometimes one breath at a time.
Inside you’ll find:
• 30 gentle daily guided pages
• simple prompts that take 5 minutes or less
• weekly reflection check-ins
• space to write freely (no pressure or rules)
• supportive reminders for the hard days
• trusted crisis + mental health resources
• a printable 42-page PDF you can use again and again

Our Podcast
Each year, more than 94 million people around the world are affected by suicide—making it one of the most urgent public health crises of our time. It’s a force that ripples across generations, eroding our collective mental and emotional well-being, straining healthcare systems, and deepening the stigma and isolation that keep so many suffering in silence.
The Survivors Podcast was created to change that narrative—one conversation at a time. It’s a safe space for real, unfiltered dialogue about suicide, loss, grief, and what it truly means to survive.
Hosted by Lisa Sugarman, a three-time survivor of suicide loss, mental health advocate, crisis counselor with The Trevor Project, and storyteller with NAMI, alongside Natasha J. Layton, a five-time suicide loss survivor, three-time suicide attempt survivor, childhood sexual abuse survivor, and former member of the FLDS polygamist cult led by her uncle Warren Jeffs—The Survivors is building a community where those impacted by suicide can connect, heal, and find hope. Together.
🎧 The Survivors Podcast is available on all podcast platforms.
