How We GET LOUD For Mental Health
ForTheLoveofMentalHealth was started as a Facebook Group July 24, 2020, and has quickly grown! FTLOMH has Members from 10+ Countries.
Our FTLOMH ComeYOUnity Facebook Group was started in September of 2021, and is Located in the Quad Cities.
ForTheLoveofMentalHealth, aka FTLOMH became a nonprofit in August of 2022.
Our Purpose is creating a safe space where individuals can support one another through peer-to-peer counseling and shared resources within the Mental Health Community.
ForTheLoveofMentalHealth's Facebook page is a global outreach network where we collectively aim to Help not Hurt through providing resources and encouraging honest, engaging, supportive friendships.
Community Outreach programs like FTLOMH ComeYOUnity Peer Circles, continue to build a foundation wherein the Community Members in those areas can advocate for Mental Health Services, and support one another through de-stigmatizing Mental Health conditions.
Pop-up mobile clinics bring Mental Health Services and wellness offerings to areas that have little or no services available to them.
FTLOMH offers global advocacy for Mental Health Services for everyone, regardless of financial abilities, racial, gender, sexual orientation, age, and marital status. We connect individuals to available resources in their residing area. Through generous funding, we can offer free Mental Health Services and support within our startup communities; and eventually become an asset to the mental health communities abroad.
This is a Huge Step to Getting LOUD for Mental Health!!
MEET THE PRESIDENT AND THE PASSION
HEATHER HALLMANN FOUNDED FTLOMH JULY 24, 2020
Hi, I am Heather Wilson-Hallmann. I am from the United States, born and raised in the Quad Cities. I am the Founding Admin of 2 Mental Health Facebook groups with over 1.6K members.
I struggle with Mental Health on a daily basis, my own and others around me. I have a Son who has Major Depressive Disorder, and sometimes wants to give up. We have been battling this awful Disorder since 2015. Some days are worse than others, some days we don't even feel it's side effects at all.
I have a Nephew, whom took his own life, February of 2019. He was just 15... Our whole families worlds have Changed! We have 2 other family/friends who followed him in the same way, within 6 months of each other.. Yes, 3 in 6 months... I then lost my brother, Travis, to a Drug Overdose in July of 2020.
I started ForTheLoveofMentalHealth July 24, 2020, and it has quickly grown! We are in 10+ Countries now.
I also started a Local Facebook Group, FTLOMH ComeYOUnity, in September of 2021 to get Locals together in person.
I see family, friends, and people I don't even know, struggling. My hope with these groups, is to support each other and SAVE LIVES!! We All Need to know We are Not Alone!! We are Here to Get LOUD for Mental Health!!
As FTLOMH grows as a Nonprofit, We aim to eventually make Spaces that offer Free Mental Health Services and Resources, so that getting Help is no longer a struggle for Anyone, ForTheLoveofMentalHealth!!

Your Health & Wellness Matter ; YOU MATTER
In order to live a higher quality life, maintaining optimal wellness is key. Everything we feel and do relates to our well-being and directly affects our actions and emotions. In order to subdue stress, and reduce illness, We have to have a balance of Support and Encouragement ; and Accountability.
Many things can Keep Us unbalanced, and somethings are out of Our Control. Finding appropriate an effective Help can be Tough. In those moments, having Support and Feeling Heard and Seen is essential to Our Mental Health.
Our Online Peer-Peer Support Group, ForTheLoveofMentalHealth on Facebook, offers just that!!
We Are Strong ALONE ; but STRONGER TOGETHER!!!
YOU are NOT ALONE!!
Live With Passion & Purpose
To achieve Optimal Wellness, one must apply it towards every possible endeavor. You can apply a wellness approach towards your environment, community, career, belief systems, physical activities, self care, healthy eating, self esteem, and creative activities. Applying wellness in your everyday life will allow you to achieve your full potential and live with passion and purpose.
When We Choose to do so, We break Cycles and Encourage Generations to come, to have Optimal Wellness as Well. Be the CHANGE you want to See!!
