Imperfectly Perfect Campaign’s Global Efforts to Challenge the Narrative around Mental Health

They are some of the worlds most recognised faces across entertainment, sports and corporate getting behind the Global Efforts of the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign founded by 1 Photographer whose aim was to change the ‘face’ of Mental Health & Challenge the Narrative around out.

The overarching aim of Imperfectly Perfect is to change the face of mental health by dismantling the stigmas associated with it. These stigmas tear at the very fabric of society where the very elemental courtesies for human decency are forgotten and eroded.

One stigma utilizes a language that proposes that Mental Health starts and ends quickly. Snapping out of it is a phrase often heard as a satisfactory treatment in the torrential battle of mental health disorders that engulf lives.

The scars of mental health disorders are very real and behind a face that from the outside you think is doing okay, there is a conversation we do not want to hear or listen to.

“Have you ever hated yourself and your life so much that you wanted to kill yourself? I have. [Robb Mack]

Isolated, given labels that epitomize citizens of the world who may lack intelligence, creativity and any sense of positive value, who battle a silent enemy. Every moment, minute, hour of the day, they fight, fight a battle that leaves them bereft, broken and exhausted.

"I have to fight. This Negative Self Harm talk, fear, doubt, insecurity demon that tells me "its all pointless, why bother, stay in bed it's never gunna get better, give up already […] and on and on and on." [Jeremy Jackson]

Stop for a moment, if this were someone you loved, your brother, sister, wife, husband or friend how would you champion them in their constant battle.

By changing the culture and challenging the perceptions of Mental Health Awareness, Imperfectly Perfect captures the essence of humanity by helping the world to see there is a serious issue that has no barrier of fame, fortune, social status, creed, beliefs, ethnicity or age. Their innovation is centred with founder, Glenn Marsden who captures the visceral emotion frame by frame, tear drop by tear drop. Glenn's heart knows, truly knows the plight through personal experience.

With that heart he is breaking ground and forging new paths. Join Imperfectly Perfect, and some of the world's most influential public figures to build a legacy - your legacy that surpasses time. A legacy that provides education, healing, support, advocacy and public awareness so that the conversation around mental health disorders normalizes, enabling your children, grand children and future generations to live without stigmas attached to mental health. imperfectlyperfectcampaign.org

The Imperfectly Perfect Campaign's Virtual Hangs with our Global Community

Such an incredible way to start a Monday morning.

The Imperfectly Perfect Campaign virtual hangs kicked off because we have witnessed too many people struggling atm with their mental health.

When we are seeing so many people dividing because of their beliefs or choices, we are seeing friends not speaking, strangers abusing one another.

People are missing that we are also going through a Mental Health Epidemic and people are crying out struggling.

Lifeline experienced its most calls in its history last week.

The IPC receives daily messages so we need to try to do better.

The more focused people are on everything else and not supporting each other, sadly the more people continue to suffer in silence and we are missing the signs to look for and then shocked when we lose people.

Today we kicked off the Virtual Hangs with the incredible Rachael Newsham leading us through an amazing session.

It was a room full of joy, of laughter, of realness and to top it off, an incredible lady named Phyllisha whom shared a little of her story with us and spoke of her struggles with a stammer and with her nerves.

Today she bravely set aside both, sang for us and blessed us with that gift.

If you missed the hang, but are interested in being a part on our next sessions, be sure to register for our upcoming sessions by clicking the link in our bio.
