Our Process - How do we plan to end the stigma?
Global Project Kick-Off
We will premiere the pilot episode in partnership with our impact partners in all 50 states and 3 continents. We believe a global video screening will bring a massive buzz to mental health. Our mission-driven influencers will share viral content to their combined audience of 6 million+ to raise global awareness.
Global Awareness Web-Series
We believe people want to connect on a deeper level, be challenged, empathize with one another, and share vulnerably; and they want to do it engagingly. Our goal is to figure out where the stigma happens by bringing different people from different backgrounds and countries to talk about thought-provoking mental health-related questions while producing short films and feature films focused on highlighting social issues through the lens of mental illnesses.

Impact Areas
Freedom Project was designed to address three major issues that add to the stigma around mental illness and prevent people from receiving the help they need.
1
Education & Ensuring Access to Care
Although mental health parity is a law, there are still many people that are being denied healthcare for mental health issues. We wish to raise awareness.
2
Calling for Improvements in Quality and Outcome
Not only can it be expensive to receive mental health services, but mental health care providers also lack the appropriate resources and tools to accurately assess patients.
3
Call to Action
We want to inform the community about laws and why we need the full implementation to protect mental health funds. Secondly, proposing early intervention mental health legislation and longevity solutions.
