The Yellow Tulip Project

We are a youth driven non-profit that believes in smashing the stigma surrounding mental illness and building a community of people who realize that hope happens when youth and community leaders work together. We hope that someday mental illness will be as normal to talk about as any physical illness, and are fiercely dedicated to making this goal a reality. Mental illness is a silent epidemic that affects one in five people worldwide. We want people to talk about mental illness, not feel isolated or feel alone. We want young adults to be able to break out of this silence and to talk about mental illness, not suffer alone or feel ashamed. We want everyone to know that hope actually does happen.  We do this through outreach and advocacy work, and by coming together as a community to talk about mental illness in the same way that we talk about any physical illness.
