Laynie Anderson Season 1 Episode 2

On todays episode I get to introduce you to one of my real life superheroes, Elysia Butler. I am lucky to work with her as an Ambassador for The Hope Hero Foundation. 

Elysia (Ee-lee-sha) is a passionate advocate for proactive mental well-being and suicide prevention, especially among youth. As the founder of the Hope Hero Foundation, Elysia is dedicated to equipping young people with the tools and resilience needed to become the heroes of their own stories. Drawing from personal experiences and over 14 years as an educator, Elysia has created innovative programs that combine the Hero's Journey framework with cutting-edge resilience research, empowering teens to thrive through adversity. The Hope Hero Foundation has made significant strides under Elysia’s leadership, reaching thousands of kids and families through educational outreach, hero camps, and a growing ambassador program that certifies teens in suicide prevention. Elysia's work has been featured on multiple platforms, including TV channels and podcasts, highlighting the foundation’s proactive approach to mental health.
