Courtney Brame
Founder of Something Positive for Positive People
"SPFPP was born as a suicide prevention resource for those struggling with the stigma of their STI diagnosis. Challenging the status quo of the media, medical field, and internal belief systems about the identities of those living with an STI, SPFPP is bringing awareness to the interconnectedness of mental health and sexual health. Courtney's goal through SPFPP is to provide access to mental health resources, and integrate them into STD prevention efforts."
