2022 Mental Health Influencer of the Year Award - Abbey Schley

Abbey Schley, president of the I’m Glad You Stayed Project, founded the nonprofit after losing her friend Dylan Salge to suicide in March 2021. What started as a small gesture to remember her friend Dylan has blossomed into an initiative now reaching 31 states and seven countries. Schley was a senior in February 2022 at West High School in Iowa City, Iowa when the I’m Glad You Stayed Project became a federally recognized 501c3 non-profit. Since its inception, the organization has reached 31 states and seven countries and distributed more than 36,000 bracelets and 18,000 pamphlets designed to give teenagers the resources needed to help a friend in crisis. The Mental Health Influencer of the Year Student Award tributes a visionary youth leader who lends their voice and talents to advancing mental health awareness and initiatives. This student’s efforts have influenced decision-makers or policymakers to expand mental health supports within their school, district, region, or state. To qualify for this award, a nominee had to be enrolled in one of Iowa’s PreK-12 schools during the 2021-22 school year. The Iowa School Mental Health Awards program recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to cultivating a positive mental health culture within an Iowa PreK-12 school, district, college/university, or community organization.
