Using technology all the way to make #mentalhealthmatter in all I do

My main project could be termed the make #mentalhealthmatters campaign. I however honestly do not have one specific, but many projects am leading right now and I use a lot of technology to put the word out there, reach out to others and get many inspired to take care of themselves, watch out for signs and symptoms, and reach out for help. I have an organization called Hope for the Abused and Battered, with four main focus areas including raising awareness and sensitizing on taboo subjects like sexual abuse and mental illness. These are subjects in our community with a lot of stigma attached to them, just like with domestic violence and all other forms of abuse and adverse childhood experiences.

Thousands of people will be and are already impacted by my work, because I am making the most use of technology in the best way positive way possible. I am trying to normalize the conversation and keeping a very visible and interactive profile on different social media platforms is a huge necessity for my work. I would need much coaching and global visibility than I currently do and of course all encouragement I can get.

My successes are numerous. Many reach out to me, I have actually worked with many more on one to one or as small groups, thanks to the visibility I already have and all the credibility my work with technology has earned me. In a nutshell, I have inspired and motivated many to rise up and speak up and reach out for help if they definitely need it.
