Why Beder Exists

Beder Mirjan was a young man with everything ahead of him. He was kind, funny and loved by everyone around him. However, he was struggling in silence and sadly took his own life at 18 in 2017. Beder was founded by his family, in his memory, to change that conversation and do good in his name. Beder takes a unique approach to softly raising awareness, building authentic partnerships, and creating a community where people can talk openly about mental health. Beder provides free access to therapy as everyone needs someone to talk to and no one struggles alone.
