“Every adversity carries with it seeds of benefits—the challenge is to ‘keep on keeping on’ until you find the benefits.”
-Dr. Joyce Brown,
“The Hope Doctor”

Stress, anxiety, depression, and grief—these are all grave problems in and of themselves. But what makes it all so much worse is that, left untreated, any one of these complex conditions could easily lead to the most devastating, heart-breaking tragedy of them all. In fact, that is exactly what is happening over and over again, minute after minute, throughout the world. People from every background, and nearly every age are making the devastating decision to take their own lives. Consider some of the following statistics from the WHO (World Health Organization), and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention):

INCREASE IN SUICIDES

1 %

How much the suicide rate increased in the U.S. between 1999 and 2023.

SECONDS

How much time passes before there is another death by suicide in the world.

Leading cause

# 20

In the U.S., suicide is the 2^nd leading cause of death for those ages 10 to 24.

For those in the 10 to 24 age group living in the Rocky Mountains, suicide is the leading (#1) cause of death. For the rest of the world in this age group, suicide is the 3^rd leading cause of death. And suicide is the 10^th leading cause of death in the U.S. for all ages. While suicide continues to plague our world, the good news is…

…There is hope for those who think life is not worth living!

The Lives We Change

The Power Of Hope

In a small Midwestern town, the soft-spoken, freckle-faced 15-year-old Shirley found herself trapped in a world of darkness. With a harsh, verbally abusive mother and an alcoholic father, Shirley’s home life felt like an endless battleground. She teetered on the edge of despair, contemplating ending her life. In her darkest moment, Shirley happened upon a leaflet from Stress and Grief Relief. Feeling it was her last hope, with hands trembling, she soon summoned the courage to reach out to call.

On the other end, was Dr. Joyce who shined like a beacon of light in Shirley’s stormy sea. With a voice filled with empathy and understanding, Dr. Joyce shared her miraculous “life after life” story with Shirley. She spoke of her own struggles and how she found purpose and meaning beyond the darkness that once consumed her.

Dr. Joyce’s words resonated with Shirley, planting seeds of hope in her wounded heart. In a moment that would change Shirley’s life forever, Dr. Joyce uttered words that Shirley would never forget, “Your life has tremendous value, Shirley. This pain will pass and you will be stronger because of it. Your life has a purpose. There is a light within you waiting to shine bright.”

Today, now 21, Shirley is about to graduate with a psychology degree and is engaged to be married. She credits Dr. Joyce with saving her life and giving her the hope to transform her future. Shirley’s dream now is to help others find their own path to healing, hope, purpose, and love.

Will you please help us reach more young people like Shirley with my message of hope, purpose, and love?

HOPE

Hope for the Hopeless

Renewed Hope. Stress and Grief Relief Now!

Despite the progress of civilization, advances in technology, and reductions in war, poverty, and hunger around the world, hopelessness remains rampant. People everywhere continue to struggle with life like never before. Consider some of the following facts:

Record Levels of Stress

According to a 2019 Gallup poll, Americans are now among the most stressed people in the world (tied for 4th). What’s more, worldwide, negative experiences matched those in 2017, which The New York Times reported as “the darkest year for humanity in more than a decade.”

An Epidemic of Anxiety

According to the American Psychological Association, the U.S. is in the midst of an anxiety epidemic. In 1980, only 4% of Americans suffered with an anxiety related mental disorder. That number today is 51%. “Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S.” according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA).

Prolonged Grief

In the U.S., in 2018, 14 million people suffered the death of someone in their immediate family. Losing someone to suicide can be even more traumatic, and difficult to work through. Debilitating grief can also be caused by divorce (which can be especially difficult on children and teens), the loss of a pet, a job, a business, or a home. Sadly, the way people are often led to deal with grief can slow or even undermine the grieving process, leading to dangerous, destructive behaviors, prolonged grief and even depression. Known as complicated grief (CG), this affects up to 20% of grievers (2.8 million Americans in 2018).

Depression on the Rise

Depression is the number one cause of disability in the U.S. and worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In any given year, 1 in 10 adults in the U.S. is affected by depression.¹ For teens, major depression increased 52% over the last decade.² And for young adults (ages 18-25), major depression increased 63% over the same period.³ Depression is also the number one reason why someone dies of suicide.⁴

How We Save Lives!

In 1999, in order to better get these and other vital messages out to more hurting, grieving, depressed and suicidal people, Dr. Joyce founded Stress and Grief Relief, Inc., a life-saving, life-changing 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to giving hope to the hopeless.

The mission of Stress and Grief Relief is to prevent suicide and its causes, including traumatic stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and grief, with a special focus on veterans, church groups, and troubled youth.

After working for years with a number of different school systems, churches, detention centers, and juvenile halls across Las Vegas, Utah, and Southern California, as well as managing the international suicide prevention hotline, Dr. Joyce is now working to bring her proven experience reducing traumatic stress, anxiety and anger, as well as decades of experience preventing suicide, to those areas where stress, anger, depression, and suicide are now skyrocketing.

Known on television as “The Hope Doctor,” Dr. Joyce Brown is recognized as a Diplomate by the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress®. She is the Founder and President of Stress and Grief Relief, Inc., a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to fighting stress, anger, and depression, giving hope to survivors, and preventing suicide. She has authored many books, including the bestseller, God’s Heavenly Answers; and her most recent book, Near Death Survivor Conquers ALS, Depression, Grief, Suicide and More: A Book of Hope.

“Life is worth living, and loving, even with all of its challenges!”

About

Dr. Joyce's Story

Author of Amazing Heavenly Answers, Dr. Joyce Brown knows something about wanting it all to end because she’s been there many times before. In fact, for years, Dr. Joyce Brown was sick and suffering and desperately wanted her life to be over.

Suddenly, after pleading with God for months, she did pass from this world. But now, out-of-body and on the “Other Side,” what she discovered was not at all what she expected, or what the world had led her to believe.

Despite the intense pain and suffering she had endured for years, including the pain of rheumatoid arthritis, repeated pneumonia, and 8 failed back surgeries (5 of which were accompanied by cardiac arrest), Joyce now wanted to return to her pain-ridden life to share what she learned from God.

Today, making frequent guest appearances on television as “The Hope Doctor,” Joyce Brown, Ph.D., shares her astounding story of meeting God, the gifts she received from the experience, a divine message offering proof of God’s unconditional love, and the eternal wisdom that radically transformed, and gave new meaning and purpose to her life.

As she shares in her bestselling book, Amazing Heavenly Answers, Dr. Joyce Brown’s unusually extensive Life After Life Experience offers a bright light of hope to all God’s children, and an answer to humanity’s most burning question. “How can I make certain that I will enjoy whatever happens after I leave this life on Earth?”

Now a Certified Crisis Chaplain with the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress®, Dr. Joyce is the Founder and President of Stress and Grief Relief, Inc., a non-profit, 501(c)(3) helping people survive and thrive with miraculous results, with a unique focus on youth.

Dr. Joyce’s story is helping to save and change lives in Nevada, where she lives, and across the U.S., and even in multiple countries around the world. But she needs your help now more than ever to reach even more people!

An Urgent Message from Dr. Joyce

My Journey

My own personal struggle with depression and thoughts of ending it all began in early childhood, and continued well into my adult life. Tragically, the experience of my father ending his life reinforced my belief in the myth that that was the answer to all of my problems too. Following a devastating divorce, I soon found my problems went from bad to worse as a single, depressed, unemployed mother of three.

Finally, after years of suffering, including the pain of rheumatoid arthritis and numerous failed back surgeries, I was on my deathbed. Suddenly, the great turning point of my life arrived. A two-year period of being bedridden and deathly ill culminated in a profound Life After Life experience. Finding myself miraculously equipped with new, amazing heavenly answers, this was the transforming incident where I went from desperately wanting to die, to desperately wanting to help others live with hope and purpose.

Today, working full-time as a Certified Crisis Chaplain and the President and Founder of Stress and Grief Relief, Inc., a 501(c)(3) public charity, I have developed a life-changing, life-saving system that is getting extraordinary results. Countless once depressed and despondent people are living lives filled with hope and purpose. But now your help is urgently needed to continue this vital work.

Will you please join in this critical effort, become an instrument in God’s hands and pray about making a thoughtful contribution to help spread hope, save lives, and make a difference? With tremendous, heartfelt appreciation for your prayers and support, will you please make a tax deductible donation of any amount today:
