Mental Health Support, Hope, and Community for Those Suffering in Silence

Blue Bee Project is a mental health support, mental health awareness, and hope-centered community created in memory of Nathan Montez Jr.


Our hearts are especially with young people. We see you. If you’re struggling with mental health, grief, loneliness, or hopelessness, we want you to know you are loved, and you are in our prayers.

At the Blue Bee Project, we are working toward a world where no one feels unseen or unsupported. We believe hope takes root when people show up for one another by listening, checking in, and choosing kindness in everyday moments. These small acts can make a lasting difference for mental health support, suicide prevention awareness, grief support, and community care.

We made a promise: to honor our son’s life by helping others find hope. This is why the Blue Bee Project exists: to honor Nathan’s life by sharing his story with honesty and love, in the hope that it helps someone feel seen, understood, and less alone.

  • Holding Each Other Through the Unthinkable

    This was our first time out on the town together as a family after losing Nathan. We were still finding our way, still feeling it all, but holding onto love, and finding hope in the little moments. #BlueBeeProject #FamilyHealing   Holding Each Other Through the Unthinkable “Why?” It’s one of the first and hardest questions…

  • The Silence After Loss and the Words That Helped Me Survive It

    After losing Nathan, life changed in ways I can’t fully put into words….
