Support Our Documentary
Help our organization by donating today! All donations go directly to making a difference for our cause.
Imagine giving people not only the ability and knowledge of how to, but also, importantly, the desire to start having necessary conversations– conversations and strategies that can lead to more lives being saved. As a nonprofit, Breaking Taboo is providing knowledge to the public that they can carry with them every day for the rest of their lives, as well as the inspiration that will empower them to fulfill a life worth living.
Through this first-of-it’s-kind documentary, we can start turning that around immediately and effectively. This educational awareness documentary explores society’s taboo around mental health while providing useful education and real life, tangible tools. It is an awesome opportunity to set examples of open dialogue about otherwise silently misunderstood topics while teaching life-saving tools that viewers can utilize in their own lives. Using empathy and education to break shame and stigma, all those struggling with mental health in any capacity can openly work toward recovery. Now is the time to change society at large.
Breaking Taboo Documentary
Our goal is to have mental health education available to everyone from the comfort of their homes. A reflection of our mission, the intention of our film is to leave our audience equipped with the tools to save lives, the knowledge to handle mental health, the ability to have open conversations, the encouragement to get help, and the inspiration to help others.

HALFWAY THROUGH FILMING
We have spent the past few years raising funds, gathering resources, creating connections, and booking interviews. It takes an army to create a meaningful film. Help us turn our most impactful project into reality. Every second counts, one suicide occurs every twelve seconds. Anyone could be affected: a friend, neighbor, relative, loved one, or yourself. It is absolutely vital to be able to recognize and handle signs of distress and how to approach such topics. Thank you for helping us to kill the silence around mental health and suicide and to save lives.
INTERVIEWS
All of the brave participants featured in our documentary are actively fighting against the taboo. Their stories are real, at times heartbreaking but ultimately, inspirational. They have battled, survived, and they are not afraid to admit it. We also work with many mental health professionals, executives, and treatment centers to provide life saving information. If you are interested in collaborating, sponsoring, or offering your film services, please contact us. Case studies that celebrate architecture. Exclusive access to design insights.
FUNDING ALLOCATION
Funds received will support the continued filming and development of our documentary projects. Our funds will go toward facilitating their interviews and on location filming (studio space, cameras, travel, sound and lighting equipment, and other production necessities).
Funding will allow us to respond quickly when filming opportunities arise, as many subjects and advocates for this work travel great distances across the world and across the country to share their stories. Funding will also allow for on location filming to showcase the world of mental health, treatment centers, institutions, etc.
These funds will also enable us to complete necessary and expensive post production costs such as editing, sound and color correction, and the marketing and distribution necessary to ensure that the educational film becomes accessible to anyone and everyone who might be in need of help.
Our plan is to have our film shown as part of our ongoing mental health course for school systems and campuses across the country.
