To commemorate National Volunteer Month, Rcoz would like to honor and share some of our star volunteers and their personal journeys. Our volunteers all resonate with the idea of story telling being able to inspire others to share their stories by picking up similarities between experiences. By sharing one’s story, another person can notice similarities and be inspired to seek help to better themselves and those around them. Take a listen to reasons for them joining the Rcoz team in hopes to bring awareness to Rcoz’s mission of storytelling related to mental health.

Harini, a mixed methods researcher & content curator for Rcoz, highlights the importance of addressing one’s mental health whilst creating content to inspire others to share their stories.  She got interested in the mission because of her graduation project related to mental health.  Her role allows for Rcoz to reach larger audiences and hopefully inspire others to seek the help they need, earlier. Her favorite part of working as a volunteer with Rcoz is being able to be a part of a diverse team all trying to push one mission to destigmatize mental health with story sharing.
