Your Path to Clarity & Hope
Recognizing warning signs is a key step in getting support. For many, receiving an accurate diagnosis is the first step toward treatment. Unlike physical health conditions, there’s no simple medical test for mental illness. Mental health professionals use the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) to assess symptoms.
Delivering compassionate, evidence-based services.
At Chelly & Cam's Hope Foundation, we take pride in offering a wide range of supportive programs designed to empower individuals and families facing mental health challenges. Our focus is on delivering compassionate, evidence-based services that are tailored to meet the unique needs of those we serve.
Here are some of the key offerings that distinguish our foundation.

Meet Our Founder
GET TO KNOW SHAREE JORDAN
Welcome to the Chelly & Cam Hope Foundation. My name is Sharee Jordan, and I am the co-founder. Our foundation is rooted in a real-life experience: my son developed psychosis at the age of 13, which significantly altered my life. I faced the challenges of caring for a child who was once leading a normal life, and I found myself in denial, seeking help for over a year. Eventually, I made the decision to place my son in a program for assistance, marking the beginning of my journey into mental health advocacy.
When my son returned home at 15, I gained a deeper understanding of mental illness, allowing me to support him effectively while raising awareness among other mothers. My son, now 18, is living with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
My mission is to serve as an advocate and establish a resourceful nonprofit organization that promotes mental health awareness across all platforms. Through this journey, I have learned that individuals facing mental health challenges require increased support, resources, and assistance to navigate their daily lives.
FIVE SIGNS IT'S TIME FOR A CHECK IN
Recognizing When to Seek Help
Having Persistant Feelings of Sadness or Anxiety
If you're feeling overwhelmed by sadness, anxiety, or worry that doesn’t go away, it might be time to seek support. Mental health professionals can help you navigate these emotions and find relief.
Difficulty Managing Daily Tasks
Struggling with daily responsibilities like work, school, or personal care can indicate that you’re not coping as well as you might think. Mental health professionals can provide strategies to manage daily functioning.
Changes in Sleep
or Appetite
Significant changes in sleep patterns or appetite—like insomnia, excessive sleeping, sudden weight loss or gain—can be indicators of underlying mental health issues.
Withdrawal from Social Activities
If you’re withdrawing from friends, family, or activities you once enjoyed, it could signal something deeper that a mental health professional can help address.
Persistent Anger or Irritability
Constant anger or irritability, affecting your relationships and daily life, might be a sign that you're struggling with mental health. Seeking professional help can offer support and coping strategies.

Bridging the Divide: There’s more to mental health
Many factors contribute to mental health on the pathway to diagnosis and treatment.
Anosognosia
The inability to recognize one’s own mental illness or symptoms accurately.
Autism
A developmental disorder affecting thinking, language, and social relationships. Many people with autism also live with mental health conditions.
Suicide Risk
Suicidal thoughts often accompany mental illness, but suicide can be prevented by taking such thoughts seriously.
Mental Health Awareness: Check on Your Loved Ones
Mental illness is an ongoing battle. As a mother, I pray daily for a miracle, walking in faith. We must start taking mental health seriously and pour love into the world—mother to mother, friend to friend, family to family, community to community. Mental health affects our loved ones every day. Recognizing the signs of mental health challenges is the first step toward support.
Mental illness is an ongoing battle, a silent struggle that too many face alone. As a mother, I pray daily for a miracle, walking in faith, and hoping for understanding and compassion in our communities. We must start taking mental health seriously and actively pour love into the world—mother to mother, friend to friend, family to family, community to community.
Recognizing the signs of these challenges is the crucial first step toward offering support and creating a safe space for open conversations. If you are concerned about someone, don’t hesitate to reach out and offer a listening ear or a gentle nudge towards professional assistance. Together, we can help each other navigate through the darkness.

Shining a Light on Mental Health: Statistics that Inspire Change
Let’s transform stigma into solutions.
Youth & Young Adults
Youth face unique mental health challenges due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We must provide young people with the education, care, and support they need.
The Criminal Justice System
People with mental illness deserve help, not handcuffs. Yet they are overrepresented in jails and prisons. Reducing criminal justice involvement and increasing mental health care is crucial.
Suicide Prevention is Crucial
Suicide is a leading cause of death in the U.S., but by recognizing signs and offering support, we can save lives. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
