The Mom & Mitchell Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering mental wellness and improving outcomes in treatment of mental health disorders and disease.

The Mom & Mitchell Foundation is named for founder Tim Jones’ mother and son, both of whom died by suicide. His maternal grandmother also died by suicide when his mother was a young girl.

Tim was only 11 years old when his mom was first hospitalized following a suicide attempt. Later in his teen years, he helped restrain his mom to prevent her from jumping from a second-story window. Despite many interventions through the years, including voluntary hospitalization, she ultimately took her own life at the age of 41.

Tim’s youngest son, Mitchell Brantley Jones, died by suicide at the age of 24. Mitchell had previously battled drug addiction and been in recovery, but he relapsed in 2017. On July 4 of that year, he ended his life.

In honor of his mom and son Mitchell, Tim started the Mom & Mitchell Foundation to raise awareness about the importance of mental wellness and bring hope to individuals and families who are struggling.
