In the days after his brother committed suicide, Evan Rose sat with his family around their living room table discussing how to move forward from the loss. Described as a high-achieving student, Stephen Rose graduated from Harvard University in 2006 before earning his master’s degree in psychology at the City College of the City University of New York. In 2014, he jumped to his death from the top of Harvard’s William James Hall. He was 29. “We’re sitting together as a family in that living room and we’re all thinking, ‘We don’t want any other families to experience the grief we are experiencing,’” Evan Rose said. “This was something that affected us very deeply. We decided we wanted to increase the conversation around this issue, and add expert thought leadership to a space where it’s really lacking.”
