Alessandra is Ambassador and supporter of NAMI.
Despite the increased recognition of the mental health spectrum, there continues to be a stigma preventing adequate care and access to those in need as well as lack of acceptance and support in our communities. By sharing stories, we can empower those feeling alone left in the dark, without even their shadow, to reconnect with one another, to realize they are not alone in their feelings, and to empower themselves to access the care they deserve.
The MINDS Foundation #VoicesOfMINDS Initiative brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds to share their stories with the goal of creating a world of empathy and compassion, in which others can speak up, receive care, and no longer live with shame.
