I think that those of us who've lived through something similar...we try to say it's someone else who's gone through it, not me, it's someone else, exactly like I did until I made the attempt, basically.
Imagine being cornered in a bathroom by an investor who labels you 'suicide girl'. That's exactly what happened to Aimee-Louisse Carton, the founder of KeepAppy. In this episode of the Stigma Podcast, hosted by Stephen Hays, Aimee shares her harrowing experience and how it shaped her journey in mental health advocacy and entrepreneurship. Despite the cruel stigma she faced, Aimee transformed her pain into a mission-driven venture aimed at helping others regain control over their well-being.
KeepAppy isn't just an app; it's a lifeline for many struggling with mental health issues. Aimee talks candidly about her own battles with mental illness and how these challenges led her to a suicide attempt. But rather than letting this define her, she used it as a catalyst to create a tool that empowers people globally. KeepAppy collaborates with emergency helplines, student unions, and corporate wellness programs to provide comprehensive mental health support.
If you're curious about the intersection of mental health and entrepreneurship, or how technology can be harnessed for social good, this episode is a must-listen. Stephen Hays and Aimee-Louisse Carton delve into the importance of breaking down mental health stigmas and creating supportive communities. Tune in to hear a story of resilience, innovation, and the transformative power of turning personal struggles into a force for good.
