This is an opportunity for you to leverage your skills for social good, to make your mark in a project that transcends entertainment, and to be part of a community committed to making a difference.

We've started the groundwork for this animation by collecting the authentic experience of a family recently discharged from our care. Our plan is to share this animation across various platforms online for widespread access, as a highlight in our upcoming stakeholder event and as a cornerstone of our "Reduce the Stigma" campaign in May. We believe this multifaceted approach ensures our message reaches as many hearts and minds as possible, sparking conversation and understanding where it's needed most. Our Development Director will be available to collaborate and team throughout the project.
