Ebene Givan founded Mike’s Mission, Inc. (MMI) in 2021 after the loss of her 15-year-old nephew to suicide. As the President of the Board of Directors, she has tapped into her purpose by embracing her creative passion for communication and conflict mediation. She brings program development, leadership, as well as family and child engagement experience to the Board of Directors.

As a member of the Program Committee, she also assists with the development and implementation of programs. Ebene has been employed with the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences since 2016 and enjoys her current role in the Organizational Development Department helping with the development of employees' personal and professional goals.

“To me, Mike’s Mission, Inc. means leaving a lasting legacy for my beloved nephew. It means a chance to support the youth and families across the state. When we strengthen positive communication skills and resilience within families, we have a unique opportunity to help prevent suicide from a distinct approach.”
