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.
