Our Objective

Mental illness diagnosis has risen to an alarming rate of

Far too many people are suffering in silence. It is essential that everyone take into account the dangers of an undiagnosed, untreated mental illness, and treatment become available and affordable to everyone.

Our Background

We have all been affected by mental illnesses in our own lives, our families, and/or our communities.

As Christians, mother’s, grandmother’s, educators, therapists, and social leaders together we will make a difference in the world by helping them understand-

“It’s Okay to Talk About It “.

Whatever “It” is that stands between where they are, and their ability to achieve a healthier Mental State.

Evidence of Need

According to NAMI: Millions of people are affected by mental illness each year. Across the country, many people just like you work, perform, create, compete, laugh, love and inspire every day. 22.8% of U.S. adults experienced mental illness in 2021 (57.8 million people). This represents 1 in 5 adults.

Children, still in their formative years are left alone more often than not. They are targeted by predators and spending more than three hours per day on social media, which is affecting their sleep patterns and their abilities to differentiate between reality and entertainment. Many children are becoming victims of bullying and traffickers online. Many children are experiencing difficulties living with the high expectations of their parents and coaches. Children who have experienced a traumatic event are often growing up with the fear of their secrets being exposed.

Unhealthy children, left untreated, can become unhealthy adults.

Adult victims of trauma, or adults overwhelmed by life’s challenges can face severe psychological problems. In an effort to cope, and maintain a healthy facade, depression and anxiety are sadly becoming normalized.

Police have victimized far too many people as the result of an undetected, or in most cases ignored mental illness.

Athletes and celebrities who are overwhelmed with the isolation, unrealistic demands, and frustrations of their careers have become victims of substance-abuse, physical abuse and even suicide.

In many cultures, and in certain communities we have been taught that mental illness is a private, and personal issue that we keep to ourselves. People have mastered the ability to suffer in silence. Not unlike any pressure that continues to build in a small space, pressure builds up and it becomes difficult to manage, creating a volatile environment.

Our bodies were not designed to withstand this type of pressure.

Let’s spread the word. You no longer have to suffer in silence, because: It’s Okay to Talk About It!
