Anxiety. Depression. Panic. Trauma. Every day, millions of children and adults experience mental health challenges that interfere with their everyday life. In fact, 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 5 children face a mental health challenge. 

The stigma surrounding the topic of mental health often invokes shame and can prevent people from getting the help they need. Through powerful words, inspiring stories and action we can help to end the stigma. Together, we can create a world where members of our community feel empowered and brave when they talk about their struggles. And because some people, especially children, cannot speak up about mental health needs, I am committing to use my voice to speak up on their behalf. 

My own life experience has taught me that seeking mental health care is as vital to our well being as going to a medical doctor. I would not be who I am without the access I have had to mental health professionals off and on throughout my life. Every child and adult needs this access.

This is why I am seeking your support as I participate in KidsTLC's first annual Champion Campaign to highlight mental health awareness month!  Visit their website to learn more about the vital services they provide! www.kidstlc.org.

Join me as I unite with other Champions to raise funds and awareness in our effort to end the stigma around mental health!
