Did you know that 40 million adults over the age of 18 have anxiety? Thanks to COVID, that number is on the rise with nearly half of Americans reporting the coronavirus crisis is harming their mental health. But even before the pandemic, the prevalence of mental illness among adults was increasing. A whopping 9.7% have severe major depression and this rate is highest among youth who identify as more than one race, at 12.4%. Despite the staggering stats, mental health is still stigmatized in our modern society which prevents anyone from reaching out for help. This continued stigma inspired two friends, Brittany Snow and Jaspre Guest, to create a platform that not only raised mental health awareness but provided support for those in need through the power of letter writing. Their hope? To start a ripple effect of openness so others may feel comfortable to share their own story, too. In this episode of WorkParty, live from Create & Cultivate's digital Social Good Summit, we dive into this incredible and important initiative with Brittany and Jaspre and tap into the triumphs and the highs along with the struggles and hardships that come with being a “successful woman.” Join the party on social @workparty and stay in-the-know at workparty.com.
