Daisy Rosales: Building Community-Owned Mental Health

Jan 16, 2021 Posted by: Elias Ross Trupin Daisy Rosales,  SDG3,  USA

Daisy: Here in the US, one in five people faces mental illness at any given time. But in contexts where even more lives are affected by poverty, violence, and a lack of social services, that number is estimated to double. These communities tend to have the least access to quality mental health prevention or care, and its adverse effects can be devastating. Brio works to increase access to contextualized mental health support through design and collaboration with local leaders and organizations.

Jason Vandeboom: Campaigning for Optimal Customer Service

Jason: When I first started ActiveCampaign, I handled every customer inquiry myself no matter the size. I’d spend hours making sure that customers got what they needed. And I saw early on what a huge difference it made in retention and referrals. I found there was a real need for this kind of advanced tech at an affordable price for businesses of all sizes. There’s a misconception that small businesses are simple, but they actually have complex needs and limited resources. That’s where we support them.
