February 28, 2023: After working on compiling a list of the most deserving charities to donate to, Shine Your Light took a step further in their philanthropic efforts and created a safe platform for people to come together and share their stories of empowerment.

A report by the CDC reveals that 1 in 5 people in the US experience a mental illness in a year. The rate of mental health challenges has skyrocketed since the pandemic, and people are experiencing persistent and chronic mental health issues now more than ever.

Besides finding the right mental health resources, Shine Your Light emphasizes finding community and a sense of belonging for people going through mental health concerns. Several research reports suggest that feeling well-connected to others around you promotes a positive mindset and boosts overall wellbeing. Getting involved in emotional connection and conversations can have a significant impact on mental health and minimizes feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Shine Your Light understands the importance of finding community and developing a sense of connection. They have worked to create an open platform where people from all around the world can share their stories of positivity and inspiration. They encourage people to share their stories of finding relief during bad mental health days, especially for depression and anxiety.

A company representative stated, “Finding community when you’re facing mental health obstacles is essential. If you read stories of people going through a similar situation, you’re bound to feel an instant connection and develop a sense of belonging that will alleviate the feeling of loneliness. We focus on helping people by sharing their journey and paths to healing. Giving and receiving support is an effective way to tackle mental health issues. We aim to help people have a positive mindset even during the darkest days.”
At present, Shine Your Light features a list of deserving charities that support teachers and youth groups and also has family-friendly video games that help to make donations.
