CARING
Never lose hope. You are loved, never alone, supported by the caregivers around you. Let that give you strength and peace to conquer today and every day.

BREAKING STIGMAS
To show love, peace, thrive and growth on breaking the stigma about mental health awareness! Family and community to shower the love and support! To grow and learn ways to improve! For children to find peace and love within themself. Flower for the growth of the children. Rainbow to always find happiness through life regardless!
-
CALM
Growth with peace and hope, kindness, love, your friends and support and safety and care from your family and your community. Be joyful and full of love, and that makes everybody cheerful.
-
EMPATHY
A parent's unconditional love, support, empathy spark joy and inner peace in a child, helping them be resilient. "Know that you are unique, special and a beloved person."
-
CONNECTION
People (kids and adults) feel validated when they receive empathy. Hope everyone shows empathy for others so everybody knows they are not alone. There is always someone to be there for them.

ON OUR SLEEVES
As part of the On Our Sleeves Campaign, the butterfly "represents our unlimited potential through the support and love we give one another." For me, a butterfly is a reminder that while our experiences as young people impact how we become as adults, these experiences don't have to inhibit our growth, evolution and adaptation to changes. Mental health awareness and eliminating the stigma is especially important to me.
-
CARING
A warm embrace to remind everyone that someone is there for them, no matter how far away. Someone always cares, even if they don't always show it.
-
THRIVE
It all started with the word grow, and then the idea to not only grow, but to THRIVE. All of us in order to thrive, need a strong support system, this brought about the tree. Everything else was just a continuation of the grow and thrive. Life should be full of color and joy and CREATIVITY!
