While we want to see everything you have to share, we do have a few rules we have to follow.

Our entry platforms are not to be used as a cry for help. Our entry platforms are not resources for personal crisis. Please visit our resource page if you feel like you need help. While we want you to find a healthy outlet and do our best to encourage a safe space, by submitting an entry you are agreeing to allow us to publish your story, artwork, advice, etc., to be used and posted as inspirational and uplifting materials for others to reference.

You can choose to have your entry posted anonymously, or with your name and credentials. This is entirely up to you and what you’re comfortable with.

The purpose of this collection is to create an ever-growing gallery of voices, artwork, and empowerment, in attempts to create community and normalize mental health issues among young people.

Please verify that your contribution is well thought out, good in intention, non-threatening or self deprecating, and has an overall purpose to lift and inspire others.

Also, understand that there is no guarantee that your submission will be posted. By sending an entry, you give HIERO permission to post your submission on their website and social media accounts for others to reference and interact with (whether you give your name or credentials is up to you, your submission can be posted with or without them).

While we will always have a theme for entries, you are not required to follow it! Anything that you’re comfortable sharing that could possibly encourage a friend in need. Don’t be afraid to be yourself, feel free to send us:

-Audio recordings or typed versions of your story.

-Positive affirmations

-Inspiring art work, poetry, music, dance, etc. (photos, writing, or videos)

-Examples of learning about mental health

-Something you believe will help someone in need
