Testimonials
A few words from
Founder of VĪV Mental Health
Mental health is a journey, and it was my own personal journey that became the catalyst for starting VĪV Mental Health. I was driven by my own lived experiences and empowered by my professional training. I saw stigmas being discussed but rarely acted upon. I heard hushed tones and whispers where there deserved to be full-throated acknowledgement and meaningful, compassionate conversations. I saw a mental health system that was fractured and siloed, allowing far too many individuals without reasonable means to access resources and gain valuable knowledge. I noticed a lack of innovation and a hesitation to adapt, to be bold, and address how delivered mental health education was being delivered. I saw workplaces avoiding difficult conversations and de-prioritizing employee wellness. I saw the barriers that people faced in their most challenging moments and the bleeding heart optimist in me screamed that we could be doing so much better. So much more.
