Anna's Awareness Initiative

Hi, I'm Anna!

I'm Anna Beresford, founder of Anna's Awareness Initiative, mental health advocate, published author, internationally published model, marketing and digital media professional, and the current Miss United America.

After experiencing my own mental health struggles and losing someone very important to me to suicide, I became passionate about creating a space where others feel seen, supported, and reminded that they are never alone.

What began as a personal mission has grown into an initiative reaching more than 7,500 people worldwide, and I'm incredibly excited to continue expanding our impact through education, advocacy, community outreach, and kindness.
