    The iconic Austin mural asking the ever-important question, “Hi, How Are You?,” painted by musician and visual artist Daniel Johnston, motivated founders Courtney Blanton and Tom Gimbel (music industry executive and Johnston’s longtime manager) to encourage people to check in on one another and talk openly about their struggles. The frog, made famous by Kurt Cobain’s love for Johnston’s art emblazoned on his famous t-shirt, has become an ambassador for mental health. With a focus to inspire young people through music and art, the HHAY Project, founded only two years ago, has reached maximum volume in a short time with a feature in Billboard Magazine and coveted mention in Tim Ferriss’ “5 Bullet Friday” e-mail newsletter among the extensive media coverage the young organization has received.

    Co-Founder Courtney Blanton was motivated by her own personal experience: “As a college freshman, I lived in shame from my mental health issues, hiding my Prozac in an Advil bottle and pretending that everything was OK in public. After years of self-affliction, I learned that healing came from openness. When I shared my personal story, others were compelled to share their own. That life lesson inspired me to create the Hi, How Are You Project with Tom. I am so pleased to announce this special partnership with American Campus Communities in May – Mental Health Awareness Month.”
