Ep 93: The "I Love U Guys" Foundation 2024

The panel discusses how the foundation started, how it has grown to over 50,000 schools, agencies and organizations, and where it is headed in the future. They take a look at the mission, the messaging, the training, the instructors and so much more. “The “I love U Guys” Foundation was started in 2006 by Ellen and John-Michael Keyes following a school shooting that took the life of their daughter, Emily. On that day Emily sent two text messages… One to her mother, Ellen, "I love u guys. K” and to her father, John-Michael, “I love you guys.” Their mission is to restore and protect the joy of youth through educational programs and positive actions in collaboration with families, schools, communities, organizations and government entities. Today, the Foundation is led and supported by survivors, family members, first responders and community members with a vested interest in safety, preparedness and reunification in schools.  View this episode on YouTube at https://youtu.be/CUMmyyxSjvs  Like what you hear?
