We Have Names 2

WE HAVE NAMES 2

“We Have Names 2” is a concerted campaign of small to large mental health gatherings to grow community transparency and responsibility—to counter the effects of mental illness. We aren’t just labels and stats, “We Have Names 2.”

It is time that we knock mental health into the mainstream by holding community events across our country to remedy the horrors of suffering and discrimination.

Our mission is to gather together in dignity and courage to share stories and songs of hope and healing. We need to remember the mental health fallen. We need to honour our courageous first responders.

Our objectives are to reach our communities in a sustained manner to blow open the dialogue on the subject of mental illness once and for all. “We Have Names 2” inspires community mental health gatherings where people discover that they are not alone, find encouragement, and seek the help that they need.

Our goal is to reach charitable status in 2023. This will empower us to invest in our communities for better mental health now, and for future generations.

We need to learn from each other and hear the stories of hope and courage facing these deadly illnesses. We need to grow and give our hope for better mental health. This grassroots movement is for the people, by the people.

From meeting rooms to arenas and everything in between; “We Have Names 2” meet together to grow hope and skills regarding mental health.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” ― Margaret Mead
