Valentina Sanchez Trivella: Making Visible the Invisible
"MAKE VISIBLE THE INVISIBLE" is a movement that seeks to raise awareness about the importance of cultivating mental health and promoting psychological care as a preventive method in the face of the suicide crisis that is being experienced internationally. Through STIGMA-FREE conversations and educational dynamics, "MAKE VISIBLE THE INVISIBLE" aims to create safe spaces for children, adolescents and adults who have been personally affected by this public health problem, to share their experiences, build a community of support, and a network of information accessible to all. OUR STORY “MAKE VISIBLE THE INVISIBLE” was born after its founder, Valentina Sanchez Trivella, lost her mother and her grandmother due to suicide when she was only 16 years old. After experiencing up close the heartbreaking consequences caused by the stigma that still exists, the lack of available resources and the misinformation related to mental health disorders, Valentina makes the decision to share her story publicly for the first time, hoping that it would serve as an example to demonstrate the urgent change that as a society we must create in terms of our understanding and management of mental health. The overwhelming response she received after talking about her experience made clear the long journey and hard work that was ahead of her. From that moment on, Valentina began her journey as a mental health ambassador, becoming a pioneer of the movement in the United States and Venezuela.
