Through the non-profit foundation, they work to break down and End The Stigma around mental health and mental illness. In Las Vegas, she has started four support groups facilitated by her therapist for teens struggling with mental illness. Online, the foundation shares educational resources, messages of hope, and their #NoFilter stories. Through sharing the raw and vulnerable stories of mental health, they are taking off the filter or mask that social media paints where everything looks picture perfect. By doing so, they let others know they aren’t alone in the struggle and there is hope and healing.
