In this pivotal episode 329, "Welcome to Something Positive for Positive People," we delve deep into the heart of our organization, offering listeners and potential sponsors alike a comprehensive overview of the impactful programs and initiatives we've developed since our inception as a 501c3 nonprofit organization. From our origins addressing the critical issue of suicide within the herpes community, to our expansive efforts in interviews, research, therapy connections, support calls, yoga, and stigma minimization training for healthcare providers, this episode lays bare the essence of our mission and the tangible outcomes of our work.

We spotlight our journey, beginning with personal stories from individuals living with herpes, to the development of a suite of services designed to support mental health, promote sexual wellness, and engage the community in meaningful ways. Our workshops, specialized podcast series, and community engagement programs not only serve those directly affected by herpes but also play a pivotal role in broader sexual health discussions, encouraging conversations about STI testing and safer sex practices.

With an audience size reaching 46,000 in 2023, Something Positive for Positive People has cultivated a unique community, one that is actively leading the charge in sexual health advocacy. This engaged and informed audience is particularly attractive to partners in the yoga, mental health, and sexual wellness sectors, including condom brands and sex toy companies. Our listeners are not just passive consumers; they are active participants in their health and wellness, making them ideal collaborators for organizations looking to make a positive impact on public health, particularly in managing chronic illness and enhancing mental health through practices like yoga.

This episode is more than just an update; it's an invitation. We're reaching out to potential sponsors and partners to join us in this journey, offering a unique opportunity to connect with a deeply engaged audience that is not only receptive to but also in need of products and services that support their wellness journey. Whether it's through the healing practice of yoga or the promotion of sexual health and safety, there's a wealth of opportunities for collaboration and impact.
