Sean’s Legacy is a public health non-profit redefining primary prevention of suicide through education and mentorship.
Our story
Sean’s Legacy was founded in 2019, ten years after the passing of Sean Myers. Sean was a 13 year old dancer and artistic honors student who was bullied for his bisexuality until he could no longer bear it. To preserve his legacy, we are working to increase LGBTQIA+ representation and identity education as a primary prevention method to reduce suicide among the LGBTQIA+ population.
We champion LGBTQIA+ identity education because of the lack of resources that weren’t available to Sean when he needed them. This is why we provide educational materials for all through our Resource Hub, available on our website. We are taking LGBTQIA+ representation a step further with our professional mentorship program.
