It Starts With You
It Starts With You is a mental health resource by Resilience Collective (RC) that chronicles the recovery journeys of peers or persons with lived experience of a mental health condition. It showcases authentic and personal narratives from peers on how they took that first step to seek help and find support despite having to face their mental health struggles.
The sharings that you see on this resource showcases how the RC community can support you through mental health recovery. By walking alongside each other, our community members have embodied authenticity and vulnerability through:
Sharing of mental health lived experiences while taking ownership of their mental health journeys.
Being empowered through supporting and holding space for peers in recovery.
Creating a safe space where they feel comfortable in sharing ways to apply coping strategies and resources.
No one is alone in recovery. Hear from our peers as they share what happened and when, how they sought help, and from who. Through their stories of hope and resilience, we hope persons-at-risk or newly diagnosed peers will be inspired to make that pivotal decision and start on their personal recovery journeys. You can help someone to take that first step!
RC would not exist without our passionate community members. These members have taken that first step to share their own experiences in the hope of supporting others in their mental health struggles. They also acknowledge the persons in their life who are integral in walking them alongside their recovery journeys.
Listen and follow our peers on how they have each forge a resilient identity despite facing mental health challenges while harnessing their mental health lived experiences to support peers in recovery.
Harnessing their mental health lived experiences using self-created illustrations, photographs, and videos, our community has chronicled their mental health challenges in the hopes of inspiring others to come forward to seek help and find support. Follow #itstartswithyousg on instagram.
