Hey there. Trent Gilliss here. Mental health issues are one of those topics that sometimes can be difficult to discuss, so we wanted to encourage you to try out this cool project called Text Talk Act that happens anytime today (April 24th). Text, Talk, Act is an hour-long event that uses text messaging to get people talking about mental health and encourage them to take action. Through this event, people can have a conversation with their peers and give voice to an issue that can otherwise be difficult for them to speak about. Its pretty simple, and heres how it works: 1) Gather 3-4 friends. 2) Text start to 89800. 3) Receive polling + discussion questions via text messaging while having a face-to-face dialogue with your group. 4) If you like, send me (Trent at [email protected]) a quick note telling me about your experience. Perhaps there is a way that On Being could use something like this to create a deeper sense of community talking about challenging subjects -- or as just a way to connect with one another! More about this project can be found here: creatingcommunitysolutions.org/texttalkact
