Social Impact Initiative: Matti-Lynn Chrisman advocates for mental health awareness and suicide prevention with her social impact statement called “Pain Isn’t Always Obvious.” For years, Matti-Lynn struggled with mental health issues that tore her life apart. She kept her problems hidden because she was afraid of being negatively impacted and labeled. Matti-Lynn chose her platform to end the stigma on mental health and suicide prevention because 1 in 5 Americans struggle with their mental health. She wants to educate everyone so that no one else will make the same mistake out of fear and miss out on the benefits of getting help.

Matti-Lynn is an accomplished public speaker on a variety of topics relevant for all ages of students, athletes, clubs, organizations, and corporations. Matti-Lynn is also available to emcee events, perform her talent, appear in commercials or ads, present awards, and sign autographs.
