๐ Meet Cherrial, a Top 50 finalist of the Chegg.org #GlobalStudentPrize 2023!
๐บ๐ธ Neglect in early childhood meant Cherrial spent much time under the care of Child Protective Services. However, she has learned to embrace her adversity for what it taught her and who it helped her become.
โค๏ธโ๐ฉน When she came into contact with the Inspiring Children Foundation, she found the environment and the tools to help heal herself from depression and anxiety while vastly improving her academic performance.
๐ข Upon arrival at Stanford University, she immediately saw the need for better mental health support. She created Wellness Buddies, a program and community to inspire mental health conversations and activities on campus. At Stanford alone, the club has reached over 1,000 students.
โจ With the Global Student Prize funds, Cherrial hopes to expand her online mental health community to college campuses all over the world.
