About the Campaign
"How Are You... Really?" creates a space for participants to share their most vulnerable insights into living with mental illness. The campaign aims to bring awareness and create a sense of solidarity among those who are living with mental illness through a collection of different mediums. As a social worker, Alexandria is inspired by the resilience and strength of the people she encounters daily, this website is dedicated to them.
