Mental Health Awareness Month!! chng.it/JZrdt42M via Change.org

Living your life for someone else? Time to live your life for you! Love yourself first and experience the beauty that unfolds. Help is available 24/7 - 1.800.274.TALK #iunderstandloveheals 💗 #betheoneforsomeone

Let’s talk about WHY not HOW! Join us to make the change by signing our definition petition. Let’s reduce stigma by understanding the illness not talking about the act. Sign here: iunderstandloveheals.org #iunderstandloveheals 💗 #betheoneforsomeone #speaksout

Without pain there would be no suicides. Pain comes from many places - bullying, financial devastation, heartache, divorce, chronic physical pain and even the flu. Pain can be treated. Let’s recognize it, let’s talk about it. Help is available 24/7 - 1.800.273.TALK

Guess what.... #iunderstandloveheals 💗 #betheoneforsomeone

💗Goal accomplished! 💗 I’m super excited to add Life Coach to my resume! Thanks to each and everyone who supports our mission and believes in changing the conversation - we really appreciate you! #iunderstandloveheals 💗 #betheoneforsomeone

As May, Mental Health Awareness Month comes to an end please keep in mind that Nearly 450 million people worldwide are currently living with a mental illness, yet nearly two thirds of people with a known mental illness never seek treatment.

ust like life...my book is a work in progress...forever changing yet always hopeful. Hard to believe that maybe our journeys are meant to help others. That’s what I hope for by sharing, my story. #book #iunderstandloveheals

We are super excited to have Ginger Zee with Good Morning America at our 5 Year Celebration Dinner! Join us to hear her speak about her own battle with depression and how she has weathered the storm! Tickets and sponsorships available: iunderstandloveheals.org #gingerzee

As we reflect on July 4th please remember those who have served. Fireworks and firecrackers can trigger our vets PTSD, flashbacks and anxiety. The common denominator of suicide is pain, let’s help reduce it rather than increase it. Love heals💗

Today, Vonnie brought understanding to Applebee’s management to share in hopes of comforting those affected. #iunderstandloveheals 💗 #betheoneforsomeone

Life is how we look at it. Do you have the ability to turn your pain around? Be thankful for having them rather than never having them? Love Never Dies and how we handle it plays a huge part of who we become. Who will you be? #iunderstandloveheals 💗 #loveneverdies

We are inspired by these amazing people who are willing to show full transparency & bring the conversation of mental health & suicide to the forefront. Thanks to Doug Meijer, Ginger Zee & Ben Aaron as we prepare for our 5 Year Celebration Dinner September 25th. Join us!

Our Five Year Celebration is around the corner. More than half the tickets have been sold with 7 weeks to go. Joining us?? Purchase tickets early as they are going fast!! September 25th More details, info and ticket purchase available: iunderstandloveheals.org

Surrounding yourself with passionate people who want to make a difference is motivating. Honored to have others that believe in the mission of i understand and privileged to work together with organizations like, Voice For The Badge. Together, we are better! More to come..
