    "We know what it’s like to experience mental health challenges and even the loss of a loved one to suicide. This world is in the midst of a global mental health crisis, and an epidemic of isolation. Everyone deserves access to information and tools to combat these issues and we want to help make that happen."

  • "What excites us about this collaboration is Medicinal Media's ability to turn scientific and psychological insights into something artistic, unexpected, and emotionally provocative," said Elizabeth R. Koch. "Each story nudges us to examine our beliefs and assumptions and to notice how they shape the way we experience ourselves and others."
