Suicide Prevention: Breaking the Cycle, Finding Hope

Spencer knows what it’s like to feel lost. As a teenager and young adult, he battled suicidal thoughts, struggling to see a future where life could be different. There were times when the weight of his circumstances felt impossible to carry. But through resilience, support, and finding purpose in helping others, he made it through. His own survival fuels his passion for suicide prevention—because he knows that healing is possible, even when it feels out of reach.



Then, years later, Spencer lost someone who was like a son to him to suicide. It was a loss that shook him to his core. The pain, the questions, the overwhelming grief—it was all too familiar. But instead of letting that loss consume him, he turned it into a calling. Crossing Arrows Ranch was born out of that heartbreak, built with the mission of preventing others from experiencing the same pain.

Trudi has also felt the devastating impact of suicide, having lost family members to it. She has witnessed the chain reaction of grief that follows—the way it spreads through families, leaving behind questions that will never have answers. Suicide doesn’t just take one life; it leaves behind a wake of pain that stretches across generations.

But we believe that cycle can be broken.
