Founded in High Point, North Carolina, Love LaVada, Inc. is a nonprofit organization committed to advancing mental-health awareness, suicide prevention, and community education. Established in loving memory of Marquita LaVada Hairston, we strive to bridge gaps in access, understanding, and support within underserved communities—especially among Black families facing mental-health challenges.

Our programs focus on outreach, advocacy, resource connections, and promoting open, honest conversations about mental wellness. We are dedicated to providing hope, support, and knowledge so that every individual and family feels seen, valued, and empowered.
