Francesca Reicherter is a mental health advocate as well as the Founder & President of Inspiring My Generation. This is a nonprofit organization that aims to provide education on mental health and suicide prevention. She is the author of “You Are Not Alone,” a workbook that helps you learn how to cope with your emotions. She is also the host of the podcast “Normalize The Conversation,” where she creates conversations with guests to educate and inspire people on mental health.
Francesca is someone people would describe as genuine, friendly, and caring. With that being said, Francesca was someone who strived to be the best. One example of her dedication was being able to graduate college in two years. Even as she strived to be the best, Francesca always struggled with the idea of if she was ever good enough. Another challenge Francesca had to deal with was loss of loss of family members. One of Francesca’s biggest role models and closest friends was her uncle. He helped Francesca when she attempted to take her own life. However, 27 days after that incident, Francesca lost her uncle to suicide. Just a few months before this, Francesca lost her grandfather. These difficult experiences led Francesca to go to therapy and also admitted into a psych ward. With the support of her family, she was able to recover and find herself again. The experiences Francesca had inspired her to create Inspiring My Generation. Since starting, Inspiring My Generation, she has sent more than 11,000 encouragement cards to people and remind them that they are important and valued. With Inspiring My Generation, she created her podcast “Normalize The Conversation” and has interviewed many people who are experts or passionate about mental health. With all of the things she is currently doing, Francesca makes a habit of checking in on herself every day. She also writes messages to herself to remember that she is capable of overcoming obstacles and doing great things.
