About M.A. Health
Why We Exist
The M.A. Health Foundation was established in 2026 in memory of Max Ma, a senior at Texas A&M who silently struggled before his suicide death at age 22. His life and story became the inspiration behind the foundation.
His loss brought a deeper understanding of the importance of mental health awareness, education, support, and community connection. The M.A. Health Foundation was created with the belief that more conversations need to happen, more people need to know where to turn for support, and more people need to be reminded that they are loved.
Through community initiatives, educational programs, outreach, and opportunities for connection, M.A. Health Foundation works to create meaningful ways to support mental health and suicide prevention.
Our belief
We believe that every person matters.
We believe every life has value.
We believe that awareness and education can create understanding. We believe that communities can play an important role in supporting one another. And we believe that sometimes a simple reminder can make a meaningful difference:
You matter. You are loved more than you know.
Our work
Bringing hope where people live, learn, work, and gather.
M.A. Health Foundation develops and supports initiatives that bring awareness, education, encouragement, and community outreach into places where people live, learn, work, and gather.
