Create and execute marketing communications strategies to engage our audiences, including current members and prospective advocates for people with serious brain disorders commonly referred to as "serious mental illness," and motivate them to get involved (by actively advocating, donating or volunteering). For example, educate our audience about the importance of sharing their stories and persuade them to submit short videos or written stories for our website and social media. Educate the general public, stakeholders and decision-makers about what these illnesses really are, dispelling all of the common myths such as, for example, that parents caused the illness. Effectively communicate the humanitarian crisis we are faced with and solutions focused on our Points of Unity. Write monthly newsletters to our members informing them of our progress and thanking them for their support.
