Steve had the chance to sit down with one of the founders of the organization Can You Hear Me (CYHM) to get more information about the organization and what they do. CYHM was founded out of tragedy but used that tragedy to do good. Ashley started the organization with her mom after she tragically lost her cousin to suicide. Ashley and her family wanted to use their pain and what they went through to help others through rough times. Can You Hear Me is an online platform for teens and young adults to share without fear any issues they are going through and to get help for them from their peers.

Ashley shared with Steve about her struggle after she lost her cousin and what helped get her through that dark time. She has some great advice about dealing with tough times and reminded us that everyone struggles with mental health in some way and that it’s okay to come out and say; “I’m struggling and I’m not okay.”
