BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Supportiv, the pioneer in Conversational Care® and Precision Peer Support®, publishes today a new addition to its Identity article collection (https://supportiv.com/teens), centering marginalized experiences that often go unaddressed in the world of wellbeing – while presenting paths forward, informed by lived experience.
Supportiv Co-Founder & CEO Helena Plater-Zyberk explains why Supportiv publishes these perspectives, by and for marginalized individuals: "Feeling misunderstood exacerbates many mental and emotional challenges. By centering the voices of people who have felt 'othered' by their identity and experiences, we want to send a message: you may feel different from those around you, but you're not an anomaly in the world. There are people who feel just like you, and you can even get connected to them online. There is power in that knowledge."
Student writers from around the US delve into marginalized perspectives and emotional struggles related to identity. Newly published titles in the Identity article collection (https://www.supportiv.com/teens) include:

Co-Founder Pouria Mojabi emphasizes the impact of these new additions to Supportiv's Identity collection: "Especially if you're a teen, if you live in a rural area, or if you're an immigrant, you're even more likely to feel different. Everyone has experiences that are hard to explain or to discuss in-person. But when people connect digitally, it's easier both to start more complex conversations, and to find those people who truly have been there and know what you're talking about."
