Francesca Reicherter is the Founder and President of Inspiring My Generation, a nonprofit dedicated to suicide prevention through awareness, education, and support. Currently an MFT Psychology student at Pepperdine University, Francesca’s work is deeply inspired by her personal mental health journey. After losing her uncle to suicide in January 2019, just 27 days after her first suicide attempt, she committed herself to making mental health resources accessible and stigma-free.

Francesca hosts "Normalize The Conversation," a podcast series with over 175 episodes that amplifies the voices of mental health professionals and advocates. She spearheads an initiative that has donated over 18,000 handmade encouragement cards to patients hospitalized in a psych ward in collaboration with volunteers around the country. She has authored several workbooks, including "You Are Not Alone: The Workbook," "I AM," "How Are You? The Workbook," "Self Care," and "Your Thoughts Matter: The Workbook." Her workbooks have been adapted into workshops and are offered throughout the school year as virtual workshops in partnership with libraries.

A sought-after speaker, Francesca has delivered keynote speeches at events like the NAMI CA 2022 Annual Youth Conference and presented at numerous conferences, including NAMI FL 2022 and NAMI Con 2023. Her work has been featured in the Kindness Channel and IDontMind Journal, and she was honored as a Peer Recovery Champion at the NAMI FL 2022 Annual Conference.

Francesca’s mission is to provide preventative resources, eliminate barriers to mental health support, and normalize conversations about mental well-being to prevent others from experiencing the pain of losing a loved one to suicide.
