Supportiv Amplify Article Collection

We work better together as humans when we have an idea of what others might be going through.

In a new addition to its AMPLIFY article collection, Supportiv (https://www.supportiv.com) adds to its amplifying awareness of complex, marginalized mental health challenges while presenting fresh, first-person insights and challenges to mainstream conversations.

Supportiv Co-Founder & CEO Helena Plater-Zyberk explains why it’s so important to recognize the impact of marginalization on individual mental health: “When your mental health experience is complex or less commonly discussed in mainstream conversations, those around you are much less likely to make you feel understood or validated–even if they’d like to. We work better together as humans when we have an idea of what others might be going through.”

Student writers from around the US delve into emotional struggles related to issues of identity and marginalized experience. Newly published titles in the AMPLIFY collection (https://www.supportiv.com/amplify) include:

Diagnosis Disparities Among Black Women | Ariel Montague

Eco Anxiety, Climate Change, And BIPOC Mental Health | Madeleine Tremblay

Co-Founder Pouria Mojabi emphasizes the importance of these new additions to Supportiv’s AMPLIFY collection: “Disability, neurodivergence, and racial and cultural context come together to leave a unique mark on individual mental health. While everyone’s experience is different, it’s important to amplify nuanced personal perspectives when we can–because someone out there is searching for someone who relates. Whether you’ve experienced these specific challenges or not, there’s something for everyone to learn from these resources.”

In addition to its peer-to-peer support network, relevant Supportiv articles and tips also surface in real-time inside its 24/7 peer support chats. By typing a few words in response to the question: “What’s your struggle?” users are matched in under a minute to topic-specific peer-to-peer group chats for anonymous support – from pandemic burnout to virus anxiety, from relationship drama to isolation, and from trauma to depression. Even experiences regarding objectification, culture, stigma, and shame are up for discussion in Supportiv’s anonymous peer support chats.
