Margo Stevens
Co-Founder & VP of Stay; For Life
Stay; For Life was created in the aftermath of tragedy. Our world was rocked to the core after losing our sweet nephew, Trent, to suicide in the early summer of 2022. After picking up the pieces and being left with a fervent desire to do something, our mission at Stay; For Life was born. I feel driven to spread awareness of the importance of mental health (specifically men’s mental health) and the message that there is always hope and with help, things can get better.
