Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation

Our vision is to create a compassionate and informed community that instills positive mental health and resiliency in Baldwin County youth for generations to come. The Foundation was named in honor and memory of Jennifer Claire Moore, a 16 year old high school student who lost her life to suicide in 1997. Jennifer’s family wanted to enable all young people to have access to assistance, understanding, and positive reinforcement when they needed it. They founded the Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation in the hope that something good could develop from the tragic circumstances of her passing.

The Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation's mission is to provide programs, services, and resources across Baldwin County communities that support the health and well-being of youth. Through the decades, the Foundation has grown and developed, and now provides the Peer Helpers PLUS program to all public schools throughout Baldwin County, as well as many private, parochial and homeschooling cooperatives. We also provide Youth Mental Health First Aid training, an 8-hour course that teaches participants how to recognize and support adolescents experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge.
