How the Healthy Happy Families Foundation Began
After tackling the subject of teen depression and suicide in the documentary, If You Only Knew...The Journey Through Teen Depression and Suicide, Mickle Communications received an outpouring of requests for help with that topic and many others that represent dangers facing our youth, such as Human Trafficking, Heroin Addiction, Poverty, Unhealthy Personal Relationships, and Digital Dangers.
“We’ve produced a second documentary, Human Trafficking in the Heartland, which will give viewers a look at the prevalence of children being sold for sex,” Mike said. “But even so, we realized documentaries weren't enough. We needed to work with the community to do more. This is why the Happy Healthy Families Foundation was created.”
The brainchild of Mike and Karen Mickle through Mickle Communications, the Healthy Happy Families Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) formed in 2016 as a resource to strengthen families. “The foundation will strive to empower children and families with the confidence to battle the many dangers and issues they face,” Mike said. “The foundation is committed to enhancing community awareness of these social concerns, so that we as a community can help our children remain safe and guide them toward a happy, productive future.”
