Nuci Phillips Memorial Foundation Inc

VISION: Our vision is to end the epidemic of suicide and to inspire a culture free of the stigma attached to brain illness and its sufferers by supporting a community-wide effort that focuses of education, prevention, and access to appropriate treatment.

MISSION: Our mission is to prevent suicide. With a focus on musicians, Nuçi’s Space advocates for and helps to alleviate the suffering of those living with a brain illness and fights to end the stigma of mental illness.

To accomplish our mission, Nuçi’s Space maintains a health and resource center for musicians as a safe space to seek support and guidance, provides access to affordable, obstacle-free professional care, actively participates in treatment and educates about awareness, prevention and the risk factors of brain illnesses. 

VALUES: Brain illness and suicide do not discriminate. They permeate through the lives of all who are touched and those who care for them, regardless of affiliation. Nuçi's Space exists to crate a safe space for everyone.

Discrimination of any kind toward a person or people based on their belonging to a particular group is anathema to all that we hold dear. We value the role of education and personal growth within our team to adopt anti-bias practices.

Nuçi's Space, and all those who represent the organization, champion a culture of kindness and support to all in our community and maintain the highest standards of caring in all that we do through nurturing, understanding, compassion, and insight.

ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY: Nuçi's Space strives to uphold a high level of transparency and accountability to the community we serve and to the public at large. Gaining and maintaining public trust is imperative to our mission, culture, and values.
