'True abundance isn't based on our net worth, It's 'True abundance isn't based on our net worth, It's based on our self worth.' - Gabby Bernstein
Hi, I'm Sam. . 'What people don’t know about me Hi, I'm Sam. . 'What people don’t know about me + my charitable streetwear brand moniker D.I.T.R.O is that my motivation + inspiration to connect + collaborate with charitable organizations [that specialize in mental health], stems from my parents, both of whom work in the mental health field, + as well, my own personal experience working as a psychiatric aide at the Centennial Centre of Mental Health & Brain Injury (CCMHBI) in Ponoka, Alberta.’ .

MEET OUR VOLUNTEERS! . Internet, meet Kalie and Lu MEET OUR VOLUNTEERS! . Internet, meet Kalie and Lucy. This dynamic duo makes up our research committee and to say that they have a passion for data would be a vast understatement. We're so happy to have them here and can't wait for you to get to know them! Thank you, ladies! . 'Hi! We’re Kalie and Lucy – the volunteer research duo at Project Nightlight! We come as a team to Project Nightlight because research together is 1000x better. . We love research (it’s true!) because it allows us to dive into big questions. It is also a powerful tool if we can make it accessible to everyone. . We love working with people. Both of our careers are focused on supporting individuals, their mental well-being, and building stronger communities. . Our hope is to use our experience to bring to light the voices of Project Nightlight and use that knowledge to drive change and better support our community and the conversations around mental well-being.'
'What is now proved was once only imagined.' - Wil 'What is now proved was once only imagined.' - William Blake⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What would happen if we approached new challenges with a 'what if this ends up being the catalyst I needed'' perspective instead of an 'oh shit' perspective? What could happen if we adjust the lens through which we see the world?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What if we approached challenges by first thinking about the best possible outcome and working backward to find solutions, rather than immediately laying out all the reasons something won't work? Let's let our imaginations lead!
"Growing up I always knew something wasn’t quite "Growing up I always knew something wasn’t quite right with me. Not that I 'FELT' different, it was only when I compared myself to the kids around me. They just seemed to find everything much easier than I did. And boy was I socially awkward. But I had no idea I had ADHD. It was completely missed. Missed by my teachers and missed by my parents.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My name is Idaho and I have ADHD, PTSD, and Massive Depressive Disorder."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To read the full blog, click the link in the bio.
MEET OUR VOLUNTEERS! . This is Raiza. Raiza is par MEET OUR VOLUNTEERS! . This is Raiza. Raiza is part of our Social Media Committee and she works in the digital marketing field by day and is a learner and educator the rest of the time. When she is not living in the digital space for work or her blog, she can either be found doing one of her many hobbies or socializing with a friend over coffee, food, or wine; all three of which she has greater knowledge than the average Jane. Raiza is passionate about social injustices and mental health, always seeking ways to join in the conversations. . Having struggled with her own mental health, Raiza felt the need to join an initiative that shares the same values of education, community and support. Having worked in customer service for many years, empathy and patience are at the forefront of her professional demeanor to create a positive environment in everything she does.

Until I'm able to get out in the world and see you Until I'm able to get out in the world and see you beautiful people up close, I'm going to continue to go back to where it all began and share our past features. Cool? Okay cool. 😊 . "My name is Rey, and I am a first generation Canadian, Jamaican descent. When people meet me, I'm not sure "mental illness" is something that comes to mind. The anxious thoughts that consume me are tiring. Yet, I'm told all the time how "resilient" and "strong" I am; but if you knew me, you'd know those are the last 2 words I would use to describe myself. Behind the outgoing, confident exterior, there is a shy soul, who'd rather blend into the background and not be seen. You would see someone who has mastered wearing many masks, every day while crumbling inside." . To read the full post, click the link in my bio. . @rey.thesongstress @body.by.rey .
