As 2017 comes to a close, so too does our first full month of operation as a Movement as well as our daily #SameHere Hero features. It begs the question: is it true – do life’s inevitable challenges make it so that at a minimum: #weareallalittlecrazy? When we formed this Movement, the thought was, life affects everyone …
Nothing like posting pictures of cute kids running around without a care in the world! Especially so when those pictures can help illustrate an important point about how we manage (or fail to manage) our mental health. When we’re young and healthy, we attack the world with unabashed enthusiasm, not so aware of the …

A couple of weeks ago I asked if we’re really all that different despite the commonalities in the challenges we all face in life. But what about our differences in our cultural practices and how we strive for optimal health? Unfortunately, living in different areas, dressing differently, speaking differently, we generally tend to stick …
Today’s #SameHere Hero: Ying (and her current boss, Sariya, from Thailand). Each Hero story pertains to different life traumas individuals have experienced. Natural disasters may be a very specific type of trauma – tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. However, what’s fascinating and relevant is how trauma itself (regardless of origin, can affect us in such similar ways, just sometimes …

Today’s #SameHereHero: “Sarah” (Why just Sarah? She felt so strongly abt helping others w her story, despite not showing her full name/face, she found a creative way to be a hero!) “I grew up in an unstable home where my parents were abusive to one another, fighting verbally & physically. My mum had enuf & …
Today’s #SameHereHero: Berry Uyens (His story is so important – from the Netherlands, heavy drug use that he never equated w mental health problems, not realizing he was using in large part to dull emotions from some major life experiences.) “Growing up I experienced quite amount of trauma, however I didn’t recognize it as trauma …
How friggin’ great is this? So simple yet so profound. What we each see – our own realities – could be different from what others see, only because of the vantage point from which we see the facts. We haven’t all walked in each other’s shoes, so it stands to reason that two ppl can …
Are we really all that different? Perhaps the most humbling & enlightening part of sharing the daily #SameHereHero stories is the realization that while everyone has a background unique to them, one of the biggest threads that ties us together is the commonality in how we all experience the “human condition.” Everyone goes through obstacles…yes at different …
Today’s #SameHereHero: Tye King (We’ve touched a lot on mental health complications that often arise from life stresses/traumas building up in our systems. What about complications that are genetic or biological in nature? Thanks Tye for sharing your story!) “I had a great childhood w/ a great family. High School athlete, college graduate, mostly successful …
