Elizabeth Marner is the founder of The Be A Light Project, a nonprofit bringing hope and brain health resources to rural Iowa. Her mission began after a loved one’s mental health crisis — a season that reshaped her life and sparked a movement. What started as a desperate search for help grew into a statewide initiative to support families who often feel unseen.

She shares the personal story of how a mental health crisis became the catalyst for her advocacy work. What began as a desperate search for support evolved into a mission to shine a light on brain health in rural communities—where families often feel unseen and underserved.

“Mental Health should not be difficult to talk about. Silence is what gives it power. Speaking openly is what gives us hope.”
