What is #IfYouCouldSeeMe?

#IfYouCouldSeeMe is a multi-media project that looks past labels and surface judgments to see real, diverse, fascinating people living with mental health diagnoses. They are mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, friends, artists, activists, veterans, and above all human beings with whole lives not defined by their diagnoses. People don’t take the time to see each other. We make judgments, we attach labels, we assume – we often do not see. Founder Erin Mahone, believes in seeing, hearing, learning, and being present with one another. The worst thing that a person can feel in this life is invisible. To be seen is to be truly alive. The #IfYouCouldSeeMe project is a relationship between storyteller and audience; an understanding that through sharing, and by witnessing, we are all being seen.
