13 MINUTES MISSION
Every 13 minutes, a man is lost to suicide. Our mission is to push back the minute hand. Together, we can end the silent epidemic.
He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.

The 13 Minutes Mission
Let’s Push It Back to 14 Minutes
Every 13 minutes, a man dies by suicide. Together, we can push it back to 14 minutes—saving 2,888 men this year alone.
The 13 Minute Mission is a tax-deductible 501(c)(3) nonprofit confronting the silent epidemic of male suicide in America and beyond.
We provide men with life-affirming, transformative experiences through:
-
Subsidized Men’s Peer Groups
-
Mental health and wellness education
-
Opportunities for vulnerable populations—including veterans and young men just starting out in life
Our mission is simple and urgent: help men rediscover their WHY—a deeper sense of purpose, meaning, hope, and connection that empowers them to choose life.
As Viktor Frankl wrote:
“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.”
That’s our WHY – to empower these men to discover and live their WHY.
Are you with us? If so, let’s go!
“Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone’s task is unique as is his specific opportunity to implement it.”
-Viktor Frankl
