About Multiplied By One
The Meaning Of ONE
Origins Of ONE
The origins of the concept behind the name of Multiplied By One came from that any number multiplied by one will be as it was. Just like one person may have many parts, they can also be one, or whole, in functional multiplicity.
Melissa C. Water is a functionally multiple member of The Bag System; together, they created the Multiplied By One app concept and design, and they managed the resulting project into a nonprofit organization.
Mission: Providing an access point in self-help, information, and qualified support
Vision: To instil a validation of individual experience that is so widespread, it fills the gap in mental health equality
Values
- Authenticity: Be true to our values; wear them and live by them
- Inclusivity: Dedication to making support & services accessible for all
- Allyship: People come first. Help them up
- Community: A collaboration with peers to create a pillar of positive change and camaraderie
Volunteer Driven
Multiplied By One org is volunteer driven at its core, as the Board Of Directors and founder are hard at work and dedicated to getting our programs and services launched and available.
