Manage episode 307168299 series 2848618
S1-E46 Karen Bixby of Karen Bixby Photography is the founder of www.HashtagHope.us .
It’s a suicide prevention project started in 2018 for high school seniors that is designed to spread rays of hope and to be points of light to classmates and other students. Karen photographs seniors wearing the official HashtagHope shirts while they hold a sign displaying a message of hope that resonates with each student. These photos are then posted on social media sites and shared by students!
Karen has tapped into youth’s desire to help their fellow students, their connection to the themes of depression, negative self-talk, and suicide and their adept use of social media to create a movement that is making an impact!
