Hey, Everyone! We are rebranding our project (from Serious Breakdown to Happymess) to embrace the mess that is navigating teenage mental health and highlighting the solutions that teens have found to help their situation. More soon!

Hello, Advocates!

I wanted to pass along that producer Eric and I (director Bear) had the opportunity to meet up the past few days, and we wanted to share with you that we were invited to meet with an amazing organization about supporting our project and the immediate crisis teens are facing.

And the people who were in the room for that meeting were the right people to effect change. They too seemed devastated by the current situation that teens face, but also partner with many health advocacy agencies around the country. So, we don’t know if they will directly support our projects, but I do know for sure that our presentation (because of your generous support) helped influence and inform people that can influence change! Yay! We did it! 🙌

We’ll keep you posted as we continue to seek funding opportunities.

This powerful article from one of Orlando Harris’ (St. Louis school shooter) middle school teachers about his personality and the power we can inflict even if the people closest to us think we are unsafe.

Teacher: St. Louis school shooter wasn’t always a monster. He slipped through many cracks. Orlando Harris was once a “super sweet boy,” his sixth-grade teacher recalls. Several factors led to his transformation.

9 in 10 mass shootings were committed by people who were considered ostracized and isolated. Mental health has a lot to do with not feeling alone.
