2023 Award Recipient

Stories Foundation

Every year, we present the “Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Award” to an individual or organization that makes a difference by advocating to erase mental health stigma. This year we presented the award to Stories Foundation.

Stories Foundation is a nonprofit organization fighting human trafficking and related issues through awareness, education, and community engagement.

In 2023, Stories Foundation aided and supported 12 survivors of human trafficking. They distributed 300 outreach bags for law enforcement, food shelves and street outreach programs. Additionally, they have educated over 1,500 people on trafficking prevention and awareness. Stories Foundation has made a difference in many people's lives by giving space for survivors’ stories and offering them resources and support. The board of the Mental Wellness Campaign is happy to present the Healthy Mind, Healthy Body award to the Stories Foundation for supporting the bodies and minds of human trafficking survivors in our communities!
