External Problem
People are dying from the silent killer that is depression and lack the resources, communities to go to for help.

Internal Problem
People want to feel empowered and have fulfillment.

Philosophical Problem
Depression shouldn’t have a stigma around it and people should be comfortable sharing, joining, and elevating themselves through a community.

At the end of the day, let there be no excuses, no explanations, no regrets.
- Steve Maraboli
