CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 12, 2024 ~ Local Organization Takes Bold Action to Reverse America's Mental Health Crisis

Blue Ribbons.org, a mission-driven organization based in San Diego, is making waves in the fight against America's mental health crisis. Led by Helice "Grandma Sparky" Bridges, the organization is using the transformative power of affirmation and acknowledgment to make a difference.

According to Bridges, the current state of our society is alarming. Bullying, intimidation, and disrespect are prevalent in homes, schools, and workplaces, leading to an epidemic of emotional despair. This is especially devastating for youth, with 76% of parents worrying about their children's fears, anxiety, depression, and even suicide.

Recognizing the urgent need for intervention, Bridges has developed a solution that is already making an undeniable impact. In her book "Sparky and the Magic Blue Ribbon: How Children Brought Love to the World," she shares the true story of how a simple act of appreciation and respect saved her life over 40 years ago. This tool has since transformed countless lives by reversing emotional distress in individuals, families, schools, and communities across the country.
