Honoring the Heroes of Mental Health: At ONE RED STEP AT A TIME, we believe that lasting change begins with awareness and education—and that together, we have the power to rewrite the narrative around mental health.

But we’re not walking this road alone.

Across communities, countless individuals and organizations are stepping up. They’re challenging stigma, sparking conversations, and creating real impact through compassion and advocacy. Their work gives hope, uplifts others, and drives forward the mission we all share.

We’re committed to shining a light on these changemakers—the ones going above and beyond to support mental health initiatives and help others feel seen, understood, and empowered. Whether through outreach, innovation, education, or simply showing up—these are the voices turning awareness into action.

We want to celebrate them. We want to thank them. And we want to tell their stories.

Let us know who’s making a difference. Together, let’s honor those redefining what it means to care.
