· 1 in 25 adults have a serious mental illness that limits 1 or more major life activities
· 1 in 5 young adults, aged 13-18, will experience a mental health disorder in their
lives
With acceptance and understanding, the stigma of mental illness can be lifted. The
neurodiverse community needs resources, love, and respect.
Issues and Goals
· Raise awareness about the signs and
symptoms of mental illness.
Target Audience
Our primary target audience is young teens/adolescents and businesses. We
believe that businesses are an underserved area of focus in terms of mental
health awareness. Young teens/adolescents are another important area of
focus because they can learn lifelong skills to seek help and learn healthy
coping mechanisms.
