Meet an Americorps Vista changing minds and perceptions on mental health and suicide prevention

Learn the name Fatimah Kobo.   She's going places, doing big things, shaping minds and re-shaping perceptions on mental health, especially among minority populations in Ohio.   She's an Americorps Vista working with the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation.   The Vista program is a federal program where some 7000+ people from all backgrounds assist organizations alleviate poverty.   Fatimah is also a proud Muslim and she hopes her faith, like many, will put a greater emphasis on the acceptance of mental health awareness and suicide prevention.  She's talking about that very thing in her role as a Vista and at OSPF.  She's also remarkably poised, open and brave when talking about her own struggles with mental health.   Quite simply, Fatimah will 'go there' to break stigmas, reduce stereotypes and breakthrough with real, honest conversations.   She's a leader on the rise and you heard her here first!
