HOPEfull Conversations with Kari Eckert
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
Six years ago, our original Robbie’s Hope teen founders forged a path to make disruptive change in their community and force the adults and teens in their lives to have meaningful conversations about mental health. They had an idea to create a two-week advocacy campaign, starting on Robbie’s birthday, and ending the first weekend of February. Over the past six years our teens have reached over 3 million people through direct conversations and media coverage. That is a staggering number of people that have heard our message that It’s Ok to Not Be Ok and have learned how to have impactful conversations with the teens in their lives.
Joining me today is Robert Vermeulen, one of the Robbie’s Hope “OG’s” and coordinator of our first HOPEfull Drive. Robert is a senior at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo studying Computer Science. Robert has a powerful story about how Philanthropy has changed the trajectory of his life.
The 6th Annual HOPEfull Drive starts this coming Friday, January 19th and will run through Sunday, February 4th. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to talk to strangers about a topic like mental health. If you see our Teen Ambassadors in your community, take a minute out of your day and listen to their message.
