HOPEfull Conversations with Kari Eckert
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among teens in the U.S. and the number one cause in Colorado, where Robbie’s Hope began. But what’s more staggering than the statistics is that there isn’t more being done to help the individuals affected most—teens.
It is our goal to empower the next generation to cope with the stress and pressure of modern society. To redefine what “good” actually looks like. To help teens recognize warning signs and realize they’re not alone. To allow them to feel their voices are being heard, letting them know it’s ok to ask for help, and giving them the tools and resources they need to rally together and talk openly about their struggles. Through compassion, empathy and communication, we are building communities of support where it is not only acceptable, but normal, to talk about depression and anxiety.
Robbie’s Hope has over 4,000 teen ambassadors across the country who are advocates for change in their communities and schools. A bright light of change sits in Westfield, Indiana, a town just north of Indianapolis.
Joining me today is Analiece Emigh and Zoe Milewski, two seniors attending Westfield High School in Westfield, Indiana. Analiece and Zoe are the co-founders and co-presidents of the Robbie’s Hope club at their high school which is Robbie’s Hope’s most lucrative club and largest club in terms of member size. This club was established in 2021 and, to date, this club has raised roughly $30,000 for Robbie’s Hope. Today, we will be discussing Analiece’s and Zoe’s experience with the RH club over the past few years and how it came to be so successful.
