OUR LATEST CAMPAIGN:

American Teenagers on Mental Health and How to Cope

In collaboration with Youth Empowerment Group, Witness Change interviewed 48 children across five states to understand their mental health struggles, and the advice they have to offer. Their views were shared in a Time Magazine cover story and will be included in mental and social health life skill curricula for tweens and teens. To hear what these young people have to say, visit our mental health campaign website: In My World.

Society is shaped by stories.

 

But the voices of marginalized people are often excluded, even when the stories are about them.

 

Witness Change uses visual storytelling to support excluded people as they reclaim their narratives and improve their lives.

I enjoy reading the stories on IG as it makes me feel less alone. I think it can truly help de-stigmatize mental illness.
IMW, Shelley (UGC)
I really appreciate the work you guys do, it helped me a lot in dark times to read other people’s stories on your instagram.
IMW, Mona (UGC from Germany)
I just read all the responses to it and it renewed my faith in mankind. And made me cry in a good way. Please never stop, your latest insight on dementia have been very helpful for me too, honestly this is just a lonely time
IMW, Colby (UGC from USA)
Thank you for sharing this work. I  think this page does so much to bring awareness to something that people don’t want to talk about. I just hope that people become more aware of issues relating to mental health.
IMW, Joanna (follower, IG)
The partnership was very effective in making twelve people who don't often feel valued or listened to feel both. It also gave us a beautiful piece of work to share with supporters and others to highlight the need for a program for gay seniors.
WLII, Therese Murphy (partner, The Center Orlando)
I must say that we had an overwhelming response on the PeriFerry page after your share. Two of them from India had also messaged to support our COVID-19 relief efforts. So, thank you!
