New in November 2023: View our news about the 2023 #NotAloneChallenge

Just one conversation can change a life!

The Big Silence and Karena Dawn have partnered up with iHeart Radio, Jewel, Inspiring Children Foundation and 120 other thought leaders, entrepreneurs, celebrities, and professional athletes to accept the #NotAloneChallenge. This challenge is designed to remind people they are not alone during the holidays and that “mental health is for everybody.” 

Our goal through the challenge is to raise awareness, provide free and easy to access resources, and raise funds to help provide free mental health resources to mental health deserts. No one should have to suffer in silence. The challenge will provide proven tools for mental health throughout the holiday season. 

The #NotAloneChallenge has become the largest of its kind, and the most diverse collection of advocates for mental health in history.

Along with iHeart and 120 other thought leaders, CEO’s / celebrities / athletes, we want to remind people they are not alone during the holidays, and offer a free mental fitness guide and resources for those in need. We are also raising funds through an online auction to make mental health tools available to the 50% of the country that does not have access.

Hello! My name is Ellie Bartlett and I’m an intern for Texas Physicians for Social Responsibility. We are hosting a free virtual continuing education event on June 24: “Climate Change and Mental Health: What to Know and What to Do.” featuring Dr. Jessica Isom from the Yale Department of Psychiatry and the American Psychiatric Association Assembly. She’ll present on actionable ways to incorporate mental health considerations into climate change plans.

It would strongly support this event if you would be willing to share PSR’s post with your following, or even like the post. I’ve attached a link to the event below, and please let me know if you are able to help in this way or if I can provide any additional information about PSR or the upcoming event.

Thank you so much!

ABOUT THE BIG SILENCE

WE ARE HERE TO BREAK THE SILENCE, TO BE A RESOURCE AND TO SUPPORT CULTURAL CHANGE IN MENTAL HEALTH.

The mental health foundation was founded in 2021 by Karena Dawn, a wellness entrepreneur and leading mental health advocate, based on her experiences growing up in a family impacted by mental illness (shared in her memoir, The Big Silence). It’s our goal to support people’s mental health journey from childhood to adult and to create a more joyful and loving place.
