Sound familiar?
Peer support centers, crisis lines and awareness campaigns change lives every day. Stigma, privacy and clinical language keep those stories quiet, so donors meet a statistic instead of a person.
Sharing lived experience takes trust, consent and control over what goes public.
Program descriptions read like a chart note. Donors tune out.
Your peer staff and clinicians are with people. Video waits.
“I think that it allowed us to tell our story at the highest aspirational way and to show how this medium-sized nonprofit has a true global impact.”
Randi Mitev, COO, The Center for Mind-Body Medicine“I've seen some of the first edits now, and I think they really, really hold together, and we can't wait to start posting them.”
Louisa Benton, Hope for Depression Research FoundationIn their words
Randi runs operations at The Center for Mind-Body Medicine, which trains professionals to heal trauma around the world. Louisa at the Hope for Depression Research Foundation needed her Race of Hope and research lab on film. MHA Nebraska, a peer-support nonprofit, received more donations in one day than all month after posting one of our videos.
One person, one Zoom call, three finished videos. Told with care.
