(1) Hard for me to find the words to express the loss of, yes, a masterful genius but more importantly a simply wonderful guy. David Lynch was my mentor. How lucky was I? He was also my dear friend. Always there for a random checkin or life-changing advice. He was my north star…
(2) He watched me grow up. He watched me become a mother. He cheered me on when I stepped into the director’s chair. I will hold those long conversations we had in his home on the hill very close to my heart. We laughed. We cried. We stayed inspired…
Happy 2025 everyone! 🎊 Wishin yall lots of luv laughter & mischief for this nxt yr! Grateful for 2024’s lessons, growth & bein surrounded by my luvd ones. Bits & bobs from this holiday season: from Grand Marshaling the Palm Springs Fest of Lights to a sexy NYE with my hubs 😘
@Action_Alliance On behalf of our co-founders @madchenamick, @minatobias, Sylvester, and David, Thank you for creating this space today to spread awareness @Action_Alliance! Mental Health is year round and we're looking forward to moving the needle forward this month and beyond. #BeThere#SPM24
@Action_Alliance Thx for this wonderful & important chat @Action_Alliance 🙏🏼 For everyone out there, just remember to simply continue the conversation… You never know whom you might reach at a pivotal moment in their mental health journey 💚
@Action_Alliance A8: Never shy away from the tough conversations out of fear of saying the wrong thing. When we're struggling, or someone reaches out in distress, the best thing to do is #BETHERE. You don't have to have the answers - just listen, support, and be vulnerable together. #SPM24
@Action_Alliance A8: DMM dedicates evry dy of the yr to our 3 pillars; ADVOCACY (breaking stigma/shame surrounding MH struggles), ACTION (concting evry community 2 important resources), ACCESS (our scholarship program to those in need of primary MH treatment whom otherwise wouldnt have the means)
@Action_Alliance A7: We find the 988 Suicide & Crisis LifeLine fact sheet is a great guideline for communication around suicide. It's also important to reach out to resources that provide affirmative health care - check out our resource page for more: https://t.co/fNLQCWX2eE #BeThere#SPM24
@Action_Alliance We're so proud to be a part of the @mentalhealthcln, @mhstorytelling, and other organizations that are harnessing the power of collaboration to amplify our work through our collective voices on social campaigns! At DMM, we are about collaboration, not competition. #BeThere#SPM24
@madchenamick@Action_Alliance A4: On the Don't MiND Me instagram, we host lots of IG Lives curating conversations around mental health resources. Check out this recent chat with founders @madchenamick and @minatobias_ & Dr. Jessi Gold about anxiety and depression here: https://t.co/86nl28fT9O #BeThere#SPM24
@Action_Alliance A6: I personally cultivate a safe social environment on my platforms that only engages with supportive language. It has created a positive community space where people can share their struggles as well as avenues for support 💚 #BeThere#SPM24@dontmindme
@Action_Alliance EDUCATION is preventative care!! Being equipped with information about mental health and mental illness is one of the best ways to prevent an issue snowballing into a crisis. #BeThere#SPM24
@Action_Alliance Don’t MiND Me prioritizes discussions, resources and pathways toward recovery for ALL! Having inclusive conversations and finding accessible treatment plans is key for an entire community to thrive. #BeThere#SPM24@Action_Alliance
@Action_Alliance A2: We're proud to share that our Crisis Intervention Scholarship Fund has helped dozens of individuals over the past 2 years receive primary mental health treatment here in California that otherwise wouldn’t have been able to afford it. https://t.co/TMkHcfD2vF #BeThere#SPM24
@Action_Alliance Suicide is a leading cause of death in the U.S. w someone dying by suicide every 11 minutes. Many won’t share they’re struggling bc of shame about their suicidal thoughts. We wish to eliminate the stigma of seeking help so that no more lives are lost due to shame. #BeThere#SPM24
