So I’ve been thinking for a while on what to pin to my profile in terms of my work, but I decided I can use my platform. I am going to use this to create a thread of charities I support and I want you to share yours here as well. Share as many as you’d like, but RTs appreciated.
The first of five that I support is @MentalHealthAm, which works to promote the overall health of all Americans and is a leader in addressing the needs of those living with mental illness.
My second is @k9sforwarriors, which helps train and provide service dogs for US Military Veterans who suffer from PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injuries, and/or Military Sexual Trauma.
My third is @samaritans, which provides 24/7 discreet support for mental health struggles in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
My fourth is @YoungMindsUK. Studies show a majority of mental illnesses develop before age 24. Young Minds works to serve the British young community with resources and support.
Last but not least from me is @autismspeaks. Autism Speaks is dedicated to promoting solutions for the needs of individuals with autism and their family.
