Empowering youth to work with purpose and prioritize mental health.
Christopher is deeply committed to mental health advocacy and community leadership. Raised by a mother and grandmother grappling with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, he prioritizes shedding light on the perception of mental illness. This personal connection to mental health challenges inspired Chris to launch Thinking Out Loud, a non-medicalized safe space for youth to de-stress and make meaningful, long-lasting human connections. Through his initiative, Chris has hosted workshops, spoken in citywide mental health videos, and advocated for better support alongside nonprofits aligned with his vision. His work emphasizes the importance of providing support and understanding to those affected by mental illness, particularly young people. With his grit, grace, and generosity, Chris aspires to create a global mental health headquarters to provide support to children from dysfunctional households. His dedication to mental health advocacy and community leadership continues to drive him toward making a significant impact on a global scale.
