Hello
As the President of Emmerse, I feel so blessed to be able to create The Brave Fund!
​
As someones who has coped with mental health illness for the majority of my life, I decided that I wanted Emmerse to do our part towards helping people who may also be affected by mental illness. The Brave Fund was established Jan.1, 2024. A percentage of each purchase will be placed in a fund and donated towards providing resources for those who have mental illness.
My Story
When I was 15 years old, I started having panic attacks in school but I ignored them not knowing what they were. During high school I was a competitive speaker, impromptu speaking, and while competing in a speech competition I had another panic attack. This attack couldn't be ignored and my speech coaches called my mom.
After the competition I went to the emergency department of our local hospital and I distinctively remember the physician telling me that I had experienced a panic attack. I was told that there were two options; be prescribed medicine or just stop being so anxious. That day changed the course of my life. I spent the next 10 years hiding the fact that I was dealing with anxiety and thinking that it was something I could just stop. Finally, in my twenties. I decided to seek professional help.
I am committed to working tirelessly to remove the stigma associated with mental illness and helping to provide resources through the Brave fund is one step towards that goal.
