EMPOWERMENT to restore confidence, overcome feelings of helplessness and see past the lies we tell ourselves about failure!
LAUGHTER to bring back the joy in life and overcome grief and sadness
LET GO of the stigma behind depression because depression IS REAL
PURPOSE to provide revalidation and help to reinstate a sense of self
BREAK THE SILENCE - STOP THE STIGMA
MENTAL ILLNESS is a health problem just like diabetes, cancer, or heart disease.
You can HAVE depression, BUT you are NOT defined by Depression.
IT IS OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY
Reasons why so many affected by depression or mental illness do not seek proper treatment:
FEAR OF STIGMATIZATION
FEAR OF MEDICATION
COST OF SERVICES
ACCESS
Our goal is to not reinvent the wheel, but rather to combine efforts with other mental health organizations that have programs which are already working.
