We recognize Mental Health Awareness Month and uplift those living with mental health challenges. As Mental Health Awareness Week begins, we chat with Kristopher Marks, founder of VĪV Mental Health, for a powerful and honest conversation. Kristopher shares his personal journey, from childhood trauma and the breakdown of his family, to navigating his young adult years without support. He opens up about what it took to finally seek help and how those experiences now shape the work he does to support others. Behind every story is a deeper truth—and that healing often begins when we choose to speak about it.
