MEET THE TEAM
Jacob Alan - Founder
Jacob, a multi-attempt survivor started No More Scars in 2013, after speaking at some suicide awareness vigils. He wanted to do more in the mental health community, and served as one of the original three field advocates in WV for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Years later Jacob was very happy to find out that a West Virginia Chapter had been created, and works closely with them to bring mental health awareness to Charley West.
