A Message From The Founder

It's hard to believe it’s already September. Just a couple of months ago, I shared my decision to step back from a full-time leadership role with StoryAidHelp. Since then, it’s been a time of deep reflection and a chance to see this project from a new perspective.

This transition has taught me that a mission isn’t just about the person leading it; it’s about the community that believes in it. The stories, the kind words, and the connections you've all built here continue to inspire me every single day. The heart of StoryAidHelp has always been you, the community, and that is a truth that has only become clearer over these past few months.

Even though my role has changed, my commitment to this space and to the cause of mental health has not. I will continue to be a part of this journey, supporting and fostering this community in new ways. Your stories remain a beacon of hope, and I am grateful for every single one of you who has trusted this space with your experiences.

Please remember, if you're ever feeling lost or alone, the door is always open. The most powerful stories are the ones we share, and there is a community here ready to listen. Thank you for being the foundation of this wonderful project.

With all my heart,

David Artz
Founder of StoryAidHelp
Host of Diversity Podcast
Host of The Side Talker Podcast
