What is Leaving Scars mission?
Our mission is to bring awareness to mental health by offering a creative platform available to the public to share, interact and bring unity around the globe. People deserve a voice, and oppression is a poison.

Leaving Scars was founded in 2003 by Richard Fong and Chrissie Le. It became a public entity in 2005.

Why should people support our cause?
There are too many people across the world that are suppressed and do not have the luxury of speaking without being judged and/or punished. We are offering them a voice, and if you are against oppression, you will support the positivity that we are attempting to push around the world.
How will we accomplish our mission?
We will leverage Leaving Scars outreach and use our platform as an outlet for artists to share their content and thoughts with the community. We will also look into opportunities in the community to speak on the importance of communication, expression and awareness.
