Kids Under Twenty One (KUTO) is a youth-focused organization based in St. Louis, Missouri, dedicated to preventing suicide and providing support for young people in crisis. Through their community outreach, education programs, and crisis helpline staffed by trained youth volunteers, KUTO aims to empower teens to help themselves and their peers. They offer resources and referrals, peer helper skills training, and postvention support for survivors of completed suicide. In response to the alarming increase in youth suicide rates, KUTO strives to raise awareness and address the risk factors and warning signs associated with adolescent suicide. They emphasize the importance of early intervention and proactive measures to support vulnerable youth, advocating for a comprehensive approach that goes beyond crisis care. By fostering open conversations and providing effective coping strategies, KUTO aims to make a positive impact on the mental health and well-being of young people in the St. Louis area.Generated from the website
