Mental and Physical Health— as a result of personal experience at a young age, The Beautiful Brains Project was created — a nonprofit  that focuses on the importance of physical and mental well-being amongst every community in every age group as well as the dangers of societal pressures and how to stay confident in your values. Also, it teaches the concerns of brain injury and how society has become affected by the silent epidemic. I have had to constantly attempt to connect physical and mental well-being in order to live a healthy life. After trauma, it can be easy to give up on one or the other, or both—- with a solid support system, the knowledge to learn how to navigate a new world, and the grit to move forward, people can conquer anything.
