Mental Health Advocate Gabby Frost on Founding Buddy Project and Being Part of the AExME Council - a podcast by Emma Havighorst

Gabby Frost, 21, is the founder and CEO of Buddy Project, a non-profit organization aiming to prevent suicide and raise awareness for mental health. She is currently a member of American Eagle’s inaugural AExMe Council. When she was 14-years-old, she discovered that many of her friends from school and online were going through mental illness. She decided to create Buddy Project on April 8th, 2013, after discovering three girls on Twitter contemplating suicide. Gabby thought that by pairing people with a friend online, it could prevent suicide and give people a peer support system. Gabby has received multiple awards and honors for her work with Buddy Project including the Shorty Award for Teen Activism and John Fitzgerald Kennedy Memorial Award. Her work has been featured on Huffington Post, Instagram, Teen Vogue, NowThis News, The Oprah Magazine, USA Today College, and Fox 29 Philly. Gabby is a rising senior at Drexel University majoring in Music Industry with a concentration in Business.
