My Truth Awards

The My Truth Awards was created in 2021 to recognize and highlight the contributions and accomplishments of those who acknowledge the truth about their personal journeys of trauma and mental health. The annual event showcases examples of the most bold leaders of our society that unapologetically take control of their own mental health, with strength, grace and excellence. They are leading the movement to shine light on the challenges of stigma that deny equal opportunity to all challenged with disruptive trauma. The My Truth Awards promote positive images to show the full spectrum of our beauty, humanity, and trauma self-care.

Area youth are selected to receive scholarships to further their educational and entrepreneurial career goals.
