The Ripple Initiative

The Ripple Initiative aims to raise awareness about mental health issues among those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

"adults with autism are three times more likely to have depression, and five times more likely to attempt suicide, than the general population"

and we're aiming to fix that!

How you can be a part of our 'Ripple of Kindness"!

We truly believe that every small action can lead to a large impact, leading us to call ourselves ‘The Ripple Initiative’. If you see someone alone in a social setting, whether you think they are on the Autism spectrum or not, join them or invite them over! Make everyone feel like a part of a community, that is an impactful way we can prevent mental health disorders from occurring in the first place! Reach out to a trusted adult or mental health professional if you ever notice a negative change in behavior in any friends or loved ones who are diagnosed with ASD, and ensure that they receive the help they need.
