No Other Generation
No other generation has the opportunity like Generation Z. They are the most entrepreneurial, passionate, and diverse generation with tremendous potential. So why are so many of them dying at an alarming rate?
According to the CDC, GEN Z has the highest suicide rate since 1999. For children between the ages of 10-14 the suicide rate has tripled between 2007-2017.
Troy Ritchie, or "Coach Troy," like the students call him, had a troubled childhood growing up on the Big Island of Hawai'i. A year after a failed suicide attempt in High School, his life turned around when he played for his first basketball coach.
Just as his coach spoke into his life at a young age, Coach Troy speaks into the lives of Gen Z'rs reminding them of their potential.
