Together we are.
Mental health is the epicenter of each human being's life. When mental health/illness was understood as a separate component of a human being, psychology was recognized as a science, separated from biology. Historically, mental health has continued to be viewed through the lens of biology, resulting in lower levels of efficacy in understanding and sustainably cultivating greater mental health.The pandemic metaphorically pulled back the curtain on the mental health/illness crisis.
For clarity, there are two fundamental components of a human being, psychological (intangible) and biological (tangible). Like players on the same team, they are separate, yet work together. Like each human being is living at a level of physical health, each human being is living at a level of mental health regardless demographics.
Leading-edge, fundamental facts are: nature created a psychological operating system inside. It is the source of a human being's power. This operating system, Mind, Consciousness, Thought is the source of a thought and a feeling inside in live time: the origin of a decision and behavior. It is also the source of learning, creativity and a mindset experienced inside in live time. Each are a form of one's power, how it is being utilized, understood and executed in live time. Like a computer or mobile phone, the more a human being understands how to use the powerful operating system inside in alignment with it's design, the more he, she, they are empowered to access, understand and respond from essential capabilities that exist inside.
As important, the individual understands more naturally and quickly when he, she, they are not in live time, the essence of self/psychological/affect regulation.
A primary, essential solution is to invest in mental health education and counseling grounded in current psychological facts to co create a safer, healthier, proactive, prosperous, united world in essential ways. Reversing Hopelessness, Inc.’s mission is upgrading understanding of and access to essential, leading-edge mental health education and counseling grounded in facts rather than theories as well as the science of psychology, mental health rather than the science of biology, physical health. It is understanding at new levels inside
1. essential capabilities that exist inside such as innate wisdom: internal, unlimited source of healing, optimal learning and performance, wise judgement, essential, bullseye solutions, authentic connection in relationships including with oneself, and feelings of well-being such as joy, love, peace and compassion. It is understanding and responding from one’s authentic self rather than conditioned self in live time.
2. the simple steps to take inside in live time to live in a resilient, clear, receptive state of Mind regardless the live event, the opposite of stress, insecurity, reaction, impulsivity inside in response to the live event
3. what mental health and mental illness is
4. the Inside-out psychological nature of life

Mental Health Facts
Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D. in the "The Body Keeps The Score", "...one in five Americans was sexually molested as a child, one in four was beaten by a parent to the point of a mark being left on their body; and one in three couples engages in physical violence. A quarter of us grew up with alcoholic relatives, ...traumatic experiences do leave traces, whether on a large scale (on our histories and cultures) or close to home, on our families, with dark secrets being imperceptibly passed down through generations. They also leave traces on our minds and emotions, on our capacity for joy and intimacy, and even on our biology and immune systems. Trauma affects not only those who are directly exposed to it, but also those around them." Also discussed in "The Body Keeps The Score", countries that invest in public health such as Scandinavian countries, the United Kingdom, Germany or the Netherlands, the cost of medical care is about half and the incarceration rate is 71/100,000 in Norway, 81/100,000 in the Netherlands and 781/100,000 in the USA. The USA "spends $84 billion per year to incarcerate people at approximately $44,000 per prisoner....".
Reversing Hopelessness Initiatives
I. Introductory-Level, Highly Accessible, User-friendly Mental Health Education
An "FYI" public health campaign consisting of short video clips shown on high traffic platforms. The clips are essential, current mental health facts rather than mental health theories. The mental health theories have often been referred to some area of psychology, when in fact, it has been grounded in biology. At the right juncture, digital and hard copies are displayed on public transportation bulletin boards, billboards and other high traffic platforms. Greater access to simple, relevant books and written materials with essential, current mental health facts rather than mental health theories.
II. Advocacy and Focus-Group Education
Proactively develop relationships with and educate leaders, for example, local, state and federal government leaders in essential, current mental health facts to provide greater access to essential, upgraded mental health education and services through legislation that includes greater financial support for the client/patient and provider. Proactively provide access to current mental health education to focus groups such as parents, university students, educators, medical providers, law enforcement and within public education.

About Faith...
https://www.youtube.com/@FaithEscuderoLMHC/videos https://www.linkedin.com/in/faithescuderolmhc/
Faith has been formally understanding, educating and providing treatment for human behavior through the lens of psychology for more than 4 decades. She has earned an undergraduate degree, graduate degrees and five licenses, mental health counselor, school psychologist, special education teacher (2), elementary education teacher.
As a licensed special education teacher, Faith has understood at increasing levels psychological development and primary performance/learning barriers. It has been an essential lack of self awareness: how to use the operating system inside according to its design while learning. A metaphor is "hunt and peck" while using a computer.
As a school psychologist, Faith has understood at increasing levels how and why to assess, determine and sustainably resolve the underlying source for reduced academic acquisition for a student. Then it has been to guide staff, parents and the student to increase understanding of the student's fact-based capability to learn, learning style and assist with increasing access to the fact-based potential inside.
Professionally, throughout the initial 20 years, Faith specialized in Applied Behavior Analysis, a principle-based, psychological understanding of behavior: the symptom. The following 25 + years she has specialized in understanding at greater levels the internal source of the behavior.
Efficacy of interventions in the recent 20+ years with increasing levels of understanding and application of the internal source of behavior, Mind, Consciousness, Thought than the previous 20 years without, has been profound. Before, mental health education and interventions were metaphorically “giving out fish”. Now, mental health education and counseling has been guiding the client “to fish for a lifetime for her, him, them self”.
From clarity, the right thing to do was for Faith to found Reversing Hopelessness Inc. This self-awareness knowledge has been an essential missing component in healthy, robust relationships particularly with oneself, the foundation of all relationships, with learning and performance, in understanding and caring for one’s biology and finances; in problem solving, in addiction treatment and in leadership roles including parenting. Human beings have been and are naturally capable of significantly more including healing.
