"Julia's Joy" in memory of Julia Morath
"Julia’s Joy" is a free Teen Empowerment Program for girls and boys created in memory of Julia Morath. Julia, a 14 year old Freshman at Spring-Ford High School in Pennsylvania, was unable to find her true self and joy in this life. She sadly made an impulsive decision to choose suicide in April of 2017 after a viral Cyberbullying incident. Her family, friends and the team at Pillars of Light and Love have developed this program to help 14-17 year-olds to learn to live their best life, and to become the greatest versions of themselves. Teen suicide is up 200%, one in three teens have a diagnosed mental disorder, gaming is now a mental disorder and drug use and heroin overdoses are rapidly increasing. We believe teaching strong coping skills, self-acceptance, self-love, self-respect , self-responsibility and most importantly RESILIENCE, will empower youth and help them make positive choices in relationships, health and life.
