Take Note: How Her Sister’s Death By Suicide Led Marisa Vicere To Create The Jana Marie Foundation

After losing her sister to suicide in 2011, Marisa Vicere founded the Jana Marie Foundation in her sister’s honor.

The State College-based non-profit aims to educate and empower young people in the Centre County region and to build awareness about mental well-being and suicide prevention.

I talked with Marisa during National Suicide Prevention Month about the foundation and her sister.
