WHERE MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS
Emilio Inc. is an organization in tribute to the memory of Emilio Hoffman, the victim of the tragic shooting at Reynolds High School on June 10, 2014.
We believe awareness and education are essential to helping with mental health challenges and preventing youth violence.
We actively collaborate with community organizations, government agencies, and businesses to create safer communities and nurture a high quality of life for our youth.
Emilio's life was taken when he was only 14 years old. In his honor, we work to give every teenager the help they need to thrive.
