On March 1, 2011, at the Capital building in Atlanta, both houses of the GA State Government recognized the Will To Live Foundation and the Trautwein Family for their work in spreading teen suicide awareness in our communities. After the family met with Governor Deal, LT. Governor Cagle and Speaker of the House Ralston, they were escorted in as guests to both the House of Representatives and Senate floors, where resolutions were passed recognizing the work of the Will To Live Foundation.

“We get caught up in this world here at the Capitol and think we deal with some big issues… I want to introduce you to a couple who is dealing with some big issues and dealing with them in a big way… Out of that tragedy that is unthinkable to me, they have dedicated themselves to fighting a problem and a tragedy that is becoming all too frequent – teenage suicide”.
