Meet Jody: one of Self Direction’s first participants. 🎈

When Jody first joined Self Direction, she was recovering from a violent assault and struggling to feel safe going outside or interacting with others. With choice and flexibility, she was able to focus on meeting her most essential needs. Over time, she rediscovered her love of art as a means to help her heal, reconnect, and imagine what could come next.

Today, Jody is focusing on what makes her feel good: performing, teaching, and developing her own one-woman show. "Because of Self Direction, I'm where I wanted to be five years ago. I have hope and a plan-and I feel supported,” she says.

“I want more joy and giving and just people being represented and heard and supported.”

In a new interview with People, Ricki Lake reflects on healing after loss and the importance of talking openly about mental health. She shares why Community Access and Changing Minds remain close to her heart, and why permanent housing, community, and youth storytelling are essential to reducing stigma and building empathy.

We’re so grateful for Ricki’s continued support, advocacy, and partnership. Read the full story: https://people.com/ricki-lake-had-a-traumatizing-year-after-the-l-a-wildfires-took-her-home-now-she-wants-to-talk-mental-health-exclusive-11878022

Throwback to the Changing Minds Young Filmmaker Festival this spring! Truly an unforgettable night of storytelling, community, and conversation. 💙

Having open conversations about mental health truly matters in breaking down stigma. 💬 The feeling in the theater as we watched these films and heard from the young filmmakers about their inspiration and impact was unforgettable.

We’re thrilled that these same stories are now reaching audiences worldwide! Changing Minds is now streaming on Apple TV+, Amazon, and Google Play: featuring ten award-winning short films and an exclusive panel with John Turturro, Laurie M. Tisch, and young filmmakers.

Huge thanks to the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund and for making this possible and for their continued support of youth mental health. 💙
