PORTLAND – The youth-driven mental health nonprofit The Yellow Tulip Project is hosting community celebrations across the country in major cities where project representatives are gathering in honor of their 10-year anniversary and commitment to “Smashing The Stigma” surrounding mental health awareness and treatment.
Ten years of dedication commemorates The Yellow Tulip’s passion and commitment to helping others who carry the weight of mental health struggles by guiding them through workshops, educational seminars and community events like the hope garden and Hope Day celebrations and soon to be released online database “The Hope Archive”, through letting others know they are not alone and it’s okay to talk about it, stigma free!
“We’re so proud of all that we’ve accomplished over the last 10 years,” Executive Director Anaïs DerSimonian said. “With over 800 youth ambassadors driving our momentum in 39 states and a growing global presence through hope garden plantings, interactive photo exhibits, workshops and more – we’re just so excited for the next 10 years!’
The Yellow Tulip Project encourages members of our community, philanthropists, businesses and organizations that share like-mindedness towards mental health advocacy and treatment to donate to help strengthen their impact and create awareness surrounding the stories that need to be told to uplift others facing similar challenges.
