A Message Can Stay With a Student for Years.
This is why prevention education matters
"I saw Ethan speak in 2018 when I was a high school student in Colorado. I was struggling with alcoholism and addiction. After hearing his story, I got sober that day. Six years later, in December 2024, I found him speaking at an assembly in Tennessee. I wanted him to know: I've been sober for 6 years."
A supporter made that assembly possible. Help LifeCON build its next donor-funded school.
Help Turn a School Request
Into a Funded Prevention Assembly.
Schools are asking for this message. The next shared milestone is to fund one complete free assembly for a school that cannot afford it.
The Next Goal
This is the cost of one complete LifeCON prevention assembly for a school that cannot otherwise afford it. Small monthly gifts and one-time gifts combine toward the same clear goal.
What honest progress looks like
LifeCON will publish a verified update when this next donor-funded assembly is confirmed, including the supported school and outcome details when the school permits sharing.
One Complete Assembly
A full prevention program for one school community
Prevention Education
DUI, suicide, substance use, and mental-health awareness
A Shared Donor Goal
Every gift joins others to create access for one school
These photos show real assemblies and real students. Your support helps LifeCON make this prevention education available to more schools.
Every School Request Deserves a Path to Yes
Funding barriers should not keep students from an honest conversation about pressure, blind spots, and consequences. Donor support can help create a path to say yes to the next willing school—and then the next.
Real Students.
Real Impact.
Each week, we feature an authentic handwritten letter from a student who was moved by a LifeCON assembly. These are their words — unedited, unfiltered, and powerful.
This Letter Matters
This handwritten letter represents one student’s reflection. Behind every letter is a story of:
- A student who heard a message when they needed it
- A choice reconsidered in an important moment
- A story shaped by prevention, hope, and support
- A school community willing to begin an honest conversation
This is one voice from the LifeCON archive. Your donation helps make space for more students to hear a prevention message before pressure becomes a decision.

What Students Say After an Assembly
These are real, unedited messages sent directly to Ethan after assemblies. This is what your donation makes possible.
“My friend killed herself in May 2017. Last December I was going to as well — I was so close. And then, just like you, I thought of everyone. My mom especially. I didn't follow through. Thank you. You are the relief.”
“You recently talked at my school and you really impacted me. I've tried to hurt myself twice — I couldn't go through with it because of my amazing friends and family. I have trouble talking about my issues to people. What I'm trying to get at is: you gave me ways to keep my mind from these thoughts. Thank you.”
“I'm not perfect and I have made a lot of decisions in life I've come to regret. I am just extremely grateful you chose to face your fear of public speaking so I could learn your 5 keys.”
“Words can't explain how thankful I am for just hearing your story. On Monday I lost my brother. Just hearing the things you said made me feel so much better. I feel like I'm on a road again.”
“I wish we had more to talk about but I'm glad there are people out there as strong as you — that can go through something like that and still want to make a meaning. It makes me want to push myself harder after all the stuff I've gone through. Keep up the work.”
“I am one of the students you presented to, and I'm very glad I got to hear your story. Now because of your story I'm very motivated, and I just want you to know you have become such an amazing person. Thank you.”
“I was one of the people at your speech yesterday and it was so powerful, I will never forget it. I talked to my parents all night about it and it really changed things. You're a very good person. Thank you.”
“Hi, I love your story and I would hear it over and over again. It has such a powerful message. This year I related to it a lot more than last year because school has been tough — but you helped me realize to stay strong and to think before I do something. I'm so grateful.”
“I just left your speech. Amazing story and I'm honored to have had the chance to hear it. I'm a school-based therapist and I really appreciate your story and what you do.”
These are 1 year of messages from Instagram alone. Ethan has 13 years of stories like these.
