#NotAloneChallenge

Largest mental health movement in history. The #NotAloneChallenge aims to save lives over the holidays by reminding us that we’re not alone, and by providing free mental health tools to those without access. WHY THE CHALLENGE? Mental Health, particularly Youth Mental Health, has been declared a national emergency. At the time of writing: -1 in 5 teens either currently have, or have experienced, a seriously debilitating mental illness -Suicide rates have increased 500% in ages 10-12 years old -60% of major depression in youth is untreated The singer-songwriter, Jewel and her Inspiring Children Foundation started the #NotAloneChallenge to raise awareness around mental health and to offer behavioral health tools online to mental health ‘deserts’ in underserved communities. The Inspiring Children Foundation was founded over 20 years ago to help at-risk youth suffering with suicide ideation, severe anxiety, depression, etc. Through this unique program these young lives are transformed. 98% report remission of symptoms & through this campaign, they will be able to scale what they are doing. OUR SOLUTION Our goal is to digitally scale best-in-class, proven behavioral and mental health tools. These include CBT + DBT + ACT, group therapy, trauma treatment, peer-to-peer support and community to help with a variety of conditions. Over 20 years, The Inspiring Children Foundation has become a world leader in helping teens & adults with suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety and other mental health challenges. With your help, they can scale these tools through a variety of platforms. Funds raised will also help other best-in-class mental health organizations that are focused on more than merely raising awareness but offering solutions.
