David James, who tragically lost his son Peyton to suicide in 2014, is combating the surge in youth suicide attempts during the pandemic through the Peyton Heart Project. Placing threaded hearts with uplifting messages in public spaces globally, James aims to initiate crucial conversations about mental health. The pandemic has seen a 22.3% increase in suicide attempts among 12-17-year-olds, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. James, having experienced the isolating impact on youth firsthand, emphasizes the need for open dialogue. The hearts, like one reading "No act of kindness is ever wasted," serve as beacons of hope. James' mission is clear: "Talk to them. Talk to your kids." Through the Peyton Heart Project, he seeks to prevent other families from enduring similar pain, one threaded heart at a time.
