Non-profit organization Inspiring My Generation Corporation is welcoming the new year as the 17th of January 2021 marked  the launch of its new enterprise, the Therapy for All clothing line. All proceeds from this project go straight to the T3 Mental Health Grant, a grant providing much-needed financial assistance that enables individuals living with mental illnesses to receive the treatment they need.

It is no secret that mental health and wellness suffered amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with 40.9% of the adult American population reporting increased incidences of adverse mental health symptoms, suicidal ideation, or substance abuse. Even before this global health crisis, there had been a massive disparity in mental health awareness, support, and treatment accessibility. Unfortunately, the emergence of the pandemic subsequently widened the gap between the need for mental health services and the accessibility of treatment.

Francesca Reicherter witnessed this gap and the plight of the people needing assistance, resulting in the foundation of the Inspiring My Generation Corporation. With zero profit for anyone working with it, the organization operates with the mission of serving as a voice for the victims of suicide, whose deaths are still considered taboo for some even in this supposedly progressive time.

Mental health disorders are not pretty, and it’s not supposed to be, but it’s something that must be discussed in order to better the lives of people and minimize the risk of losing more to this pervasive, invisible disease. The organization normalizes the conversation around mental health and mental illness, which is the essential first step to broadening the public’s perception of a matter that affects nearly half of the population. It also provides education on mental health, mental illness, and maintaining mental wellness.

Every now and then, high-performing businesses would make headlines for conquering financial feats and achieving monetary goals. However, nothing takes center stage the way that philanthropic ventures and charitable institutions do. As the esteemed founder of Inspiring My Generation Corporation, Francesca Reicherter is committed to prioritizing people over profit. Through her brainchild, she breathes life into her advocacy of helping others and bringing struggling individuals out of the darkness.

Individuals and organizations that are driven by the desire to impact lives and change the world almost always stand. Among those who have established a reputable standing for themselves is Francesca Reicherter. As a model of integrity, this visionary leader serves as a notable figure for giving strength and empowering people from all walks of life. Standing at the helm of Inspiring My Generation Corporation, she strives to shed light on the importance of mental health.

As one of the foremost advocates of mental health, Francesca Reicherter created Inspiring My Generation Corporation as a beacon of hope and source of resilience. On a mission to cater to those suffering from mental illnesses, she goes the extra mile to make sure that no one gets left behind.

In an interview, Francesca shared that she lost her uncle to suicide in 2019. “I had attempted suicide and my uncle was the one who got me through it,” she said. The tragedy took a toll on her mental health because she could not believe that the person who gave her strength was now gone. A few months after, she was hospitalized for multiple suicide attempts. However, she soon realized that she could not let her life go to waste.

Determined to pull herself back together, Francesca created a non-profit organization that would serve as the much-needed voice for those who are feeling lost. She believes that Inspiring My Generation Corporation will let people know that they are not alone and that they have a compassionate community supporting them.

With everything that she believes in and the causes that she fights for, Francesca Reicherter has allowed Inspiring My Generation Corporation to touch souls and transform lives in the most remarkable way possible. Despite her already numerous initiatives, this laudable figure has no plans of slowing down. In the coming years, she wants to host a talk show where viewers and members are given free therapy subscriptions focusing on mental health and wellness.

According to Francesca Reicherter, she would like to see Inspiring My Generation Corporation leading the fight against inequality and disparity in the accessibility of treatment. She hopes to achieve this goal by donating thousands of dollars in her company’s T3 Mental Health Grant to assist people who are suffering from mental illness but cannot afford essential treatment.

For the past few decades, the issue of declining mental health has continued to grow in prominence worldwide. Affecting everyone from all ages and backgrounds has become a pressing concern for governments, workplaces, schools, and numerous other institutions. Seeing the downward slope in wellness statistics, Francesca Reicherter knew she had to help.

Francesca Reicherter is a celebrated creative entrepreneur, author, innovator, and staunch advocate of mental health. Her first endeavor in support of the cause is the non-profit organization “Inspiring My Generation Corporation.”

“When I was 12 years old, I started a blog titled “Inspiring My Generation” as a way to inspire my peers to live their life to the fullest in happiness and kindness toward themselves and others,” she shares.

The blog attracted numerous readers, and Francesca, although struggling with personal issues, found happiness in her impact. However, life would soon lead her to a breaking point. In 2019, Francesca Reicherter lost her godfather to suicide. The news crushed her and reminded her that 27 days before the incident when she attempted, he was there to support her and open a conversation on mental health.

Following his death, Francesca, having trouble dealing with her godfather’s passing, was admitted to a psych ward for a week.

“It was then that I realized how many people were struggling and how our mental health system did not provide enough support – education support, emotional support, or financial support – and I knew it was my calling to be a voice for those who lost theirs to suicide and those struggling who cannot speak up for themselves.”

In March 2020, on her godfather’s birthday, she launched Inspiring My Generation. The foundation was established to fight the disparity in mental health awareness, support, and treatment accessibility. Through Inspiring My Generation, Francesca wanted to build a community of like-minded, equally driven individuals eager to boost their peers and encourage their reach to join the movement.

As her dream began to snowball and operations broadened the organization’s impact, Francesca Reicherter branched her services. She launched several ventures: a podcast entitled “Normalize the Conversation” on IGTV and YouTube, an encouragement card program where over a thousand handmade cards are sent to uplift patients in psych wards, a clothing line that promotes empowerment, and the “You Are Not Alone: The Workbook.”

The interactive workbook is the latest of Francesca’s initiatives and is designed to help kids build a “coping toolbox” and develop emotional wellness. With fun coloring pages and intellectually stimulating exercises, You Are Not Alone: The Workbook effectively carries its creator’s sentiments of decreasing loneliness and advancing the conversation on mental health.

“Health is wealth,” that is how the saying goes. For the longest time, people have focused primarily on the physical aspect of wellness. But in recent years, individuals and groups have been more vocal about raising awareness for mental health. Despite this valiant effort, there is still a stigma surrounding discussion about mental health concerns and a disparity in accessible treatment options. To fight this disparity, Francesca Reicherter founded the nonprofit organization My Generation Corporation.

From a young age, Francesca Reicherter has used her voice to encourage her peers to live their life to the fullest and value kindness. At 12 years old, she started a blog titled Inspiring My Generation, where she wrote about how people her age can have a fulfilling life. During her high school years, the blog transitioned to a podcast.

Even as Francesca Reicherter encouraged living a balanced and well-rounded life, she experienced struggles with her mental health. In 2019, she attempted to take her life. She shares, “My uncle and godfather, Marc Taglienti, was able to talk me out of it. He supported me through this difficult time in my life, and he opened a conversation on mental health. I would not be here today if he hadn’t helped me.”

Little did she know that her uncle had struggles of his own. Just 27 days after he helped Francesca, he took his own life. “The person who gave me the strength to keep going ended his life, and it broke me. I ended up in the psych ward,” she recalls. It was there that she realized how many people were struggling. Francesca was unsatisfied with the support that the mental health system provided. “There wasn’t enough educational, emotional, and financial support. I decided I wanted to do what I can to bridge that gap. I wanted to be a voice for those who have lost loved ones to suicide, and those who are struggling but cannot speak up for themselves.”

To honor her late uncle, Francesca Reicherter launched Inspiring My Generation as a 501(c)3. “I launched this nonprofit organization on his birthday. I hope to support other people in the same way he supported me through my darkest hours,” Francesca says.

Since Inspiring My Generation Corporation’s establishment in March 2020, the organization has developed programs and initiatives that provide mental health education and support. This includes Normalize the Conversation, a podcast where individuals can share their stories to encourage discussion about different mental health-related topics. Another initiative is the Encouragement Card Program, where over a hundred handwritten cards are sent to patients in mental health institutions to offer encouragement and emotional support. The organization also launched the T3 Mental Health Grant to help alleviate financial barriers to treatment for individuals diagnosed with mental illness.

Awareness of and advocacies for mental health has been steadily rising in recent years. While people are more open to talking about mental health, there is still a gap in education and resources available. Francesca Reicherter founded Inspiring My Generation, a nonprofit organization, to fight the disparity in mental health awareness, support, and treatment accessibility. She also published the You Are Not Alone Workbook, which is designed to help kids and their parents get in touch with their emotional wellness.

Francesca Reicherter has lent her voice in the wellness space since she was 12 years old. At that young age, she realized the importance of living life to the fullest. She started a blog called Inspiring My Generation to inspire her peers to live fully and happily by practicing kindness to themselves and other people. She continued this blog, and eventually podcast, up through her undergrad years. 

But her journey with mental health took on a more difficult path. In 2019, she attempted to take her life. It was only through the support of her uncle that she was able to survive. She recalls, “My uncle held me in his arms as I trembled in fear. He told me the importance of getting help, and he promised we would get through this together.” But just 27 days later, her uncle died by suicide. Devastated, Francesca was admitted to a psychiatric facility. “I spent a week there. I realized just how many people suffer as I have. And I grew disappointed by how we as a society mental health as a whole,” she says. 

Her personal battle with mental health inspired her to dive deeper into her advocacies. She learned the importance of starting mental health awareness from a young age, and so she created an interactive workbook for kids and their parents. In the You Are Not Alone Workbook, Francesca provides strategies to help kids build a coping toolbox and get in touch with their emotional wellness. “Mental and emotional wellness can be taught to young kids. In this workbook, I made sure to include coloring pages, word searches, and interactive exercises. These activities are fun and teach them about wellness and coping in a way that they will easily grasp,” Francesca shares. The workbook serves to bridge the gap in communication between adult guardians and children through interactive guided check-in exercises. The author says, “This workbook is not tailored only to help kids or parents, but rather help them learn and grow together through guided interactive communication exercises.”

In March of last year, Francesca Reicherter launched Inspiring My Generation Corporation as a nonprofit organization. “This organization is my way of honoring my uncle. He helped me, and now I work to help others who are struggling with their mental health. I want to end the stigma associated with it and to help people gain access to the support and resources they need,” she shares.

With the challenges that people regularly face, especially over the past year, it is easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged. Francesca Reicherter knows what it is like to be without hope and wants to help people through it. 

Francesca Reicherter is a 22-year-old mental health advocate and the esteemed founder and president of “Inspiring My Generation Corporation,” a non-profit organization fighting the inconsistency in mental health awareness, support, and treatment accessibility. Since commencing operations, Francesca has worked tirelessly to launch several initiatives to reach a wider audience, such as the Normalize The Conversation Podcast, available for streaming on IGTV and YouTube. 

She also championed an encouragement card program where over 1000 handmade cards have been donated to patients hospitalized in psych wards to provide support and encouragement, and a clothing line meant to empower and remind anyone wearing it to embrace their mental health while passing messages of support and community to people around them.

Determined to reach out to both adults and children alike, Francesca authored and published the “You Are Not Alone” Workbook – an interactive workbook specially designed for kids to help them develop a healthy coping toolbox and get in touch with their emotional wellness. The workbook includes coloring pages, word search, interactive exercises, and more to help bridge the communication gap between parents, child, and tutors through its interactive, guided check-in exercises on opening conversations and expressing true feelings followed by support and validation.

Francesca was motivated to author the book as she realized that the current spike in mental health illness makes it increasingly necessary to explain and show our youths that it is okay not to be okay. They do not have to be alone during the hard times as there are tools that can help them communicate their feelings when words fail them. To continue advocating for mental health awareness, Francesca donates a percentage of all the proceeds from the book are donated back to “Inspiring My Generation Corporation” to support mental health treatment and accessibility.

To celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month, Francesca launched a unique sweatshirt to spread awareness on the worrisome statistics of how one out of five individuals struggles with mental health issues and targets parents, educators, school boards, and every individual living with mental health disorders to pass on her message.

Francesca’s journey as a mental health advocate started when she was 12-years-old. She created a blog called “Inspiring My Generation,” where she shares goodwill messages with her peers and inspires them to live their life to the fullest in happiness and kindness toward themselves and others.

Francesca Reicherter’s commitment to mental health advocacy stems from personal experience. In 2019, she tried ending her life and with the support of her godfather was able to continue on, but 27 days later, the same godfather died by suicide due to mental health problems that nobody was aware of, including Francesca. It made her wonder how someone who gave her reasons to live couldn’t find reasons to live himself. At that point, she resolved to tackle the bigger problem and solve it on a national and global scale by establishing Inspiring My Generation Corporation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, to fight the disparity in mental health awareness, support, and treatment accessibility.

Francesca Reicherter embarked on a mission to be a mental health advocate and drive conversations around mental health globally. Since she launched Inspiring My Generation Corporation and took the position of president of the foundation, Francesca has championed various initiatives, which include a podcast titled “Normalize the Conversation,” and an encouragement card program that donates handmade cards to mental health patients in various hospitals. The podcast is available on IGTV and YouTube. She also launched a clothing line to bear messages of support and empowerment to anyone wearing it. All of her initiatives are geared towards showing others that they’re not alone and should always speak up about their struggles.

Francesca Reicherter has a workbook titled “You Are Not Alone” workbook, an interactive workbook for kids to help them build a coping toolbox and stay in touch with their emotional wellness. Francesca realized that the problem with mental health awareness is not talking about it enough. “It is important for our youth to know that it’s okay to feel and that they’re not alone in feeling those feelings. We should also work on providing tools and resources that can help. Inspiring My Generation is committed to that, and the “You Are Not Alone” workbook is one of the first learning tools for children,” Francesca says. The book is highly interactive, and it bridges the communication gap between parents and children through its guided check-in exercises on opening conversations on how the children feel. A percentage of the sales proceeds go to Inspiring My Generation Corporation to continue fighting for mental health awareness.
