Helping you start and grow the conversation

Described by many as one of the safest spaces online to discuss mental health, our community prioritizes thoughtful responses, privacy, and resources to help you at any point of your journey. Many members have never talked about it before or share stories for the first time within our community.

It’s an authentic, honest space that’s safe to share and express yourself without any judgement around the realities of your challenges and wins — all aspects of our mental health. You can choose anonymity, keep your stories private within our community by default or opt-in to get your story featured publicly on our website to increase your impact. Plus, there’s no bots, sponsored posts or influencers.

You are the most important project of your life

The One Project is a journey to free your mind and find the light. Using photos, we can express more freely what is difficult to put into words and better connect with each other around difficult conversations or periods of our lives. It’s through this expression and connection that we realize we are not alone in our experiences and then insights are revealed that we can all learn, heal and grow from. It is a constant process that helps lead you to a better, more authentic version of yourself.

Every story told in our community makes an impact by contributing to our Story Library, helping other members and amplifying the insights you share to larger networks around the world in publications, exhibitions and more through our partnerships and member opportunities. One photo, one story, one insight can save a life.

“I am SUPER impressed with how professional everything looks! It's really inviting!”

Christina Graves
“

“I suffer from depression. Until now, I've never said that out loud. I have spent years and years trying to hide from the stigma that comes with being depressed, too embarrassed to ask for help and too anxious to feel like anyone would listen. I don't know when the exact moment was, but I was flipping through The One Project website and it hit me like a train. I don't have to feel this way. And I don't have to do this alone.”

Molly Mitchell
“

“It's a brilliant community to be part. it has really helped me a lot and couldn't recommend it enough. ❤️”

Shannen Woods
“

“Photography has been one of the best things I have ever done for my mental health. It helped me get through the empty nest syndrome, the passing of my Mother and also has helped me process and make sense of past childhood trauma. It’s a tool widely overlooked that deserves more awareness.”

Melanie Hood
“

“This community encourages everyone to explore their challenges with mental illness using photography, a tool which allows us to reflect and share in a very meaningful way, even when words aren’t available.

I’ve just recently started sharing in The One Project but I’m already seeing the support of the community, through their respectful and warm feedback.”

Bar Perry
“

“After posting my first story, I was blown away by the immediate support from the community and Bryce himself. It just quickly felt like a safe environment to share emotions and feelings. During the course, I learned more about the power of photography and learned new ways to express myself through my photographs. I feel that now I am really able to use photographs as a therapeutic tool.”

Maria Cooks
“

“I am one of the earliest pioneers of the techniques of “PhotoTherapy” and “Therapeutic Photography” (using personal photographs and photo-taking as tools to improve therapy process, increase personal well-being, or create positive social change).

Photography can be a very powerful means of confronting problems and providing a way to overcome and survive them. Bryce Evans has started a vital conversation, using photography as his language for activating that dialogue.”

Judy WeiserR.Psych., A.T.R., Founder/Director of the PhotoTherapy Centre
“

“The One Project helped me get back on my feet after a couple of very rough life events. The things that I learned in this course [Build Your One Project] turned into a series of books that I’ve published. I constantly use the techniques on a daily basis in my practice as a portrait photographer and couldn’t describe this any better than; “The One Project saved my life”.”

Jelani Woods
“

“I am thrilled to be a member of this community. Bryce has created an incredible platform for people to be able to discuss, talk and open up regarding their stories regarding mental health.

I have been able to share some of my experiences within the community, and it is exciting to see how the conversation around mental health grows and transforms.”

Jesse DeLisle
“

“This course [Build Your One Project] is very effective in dealing with a very serious topic.

This is well worth the price!”

Being able to comfortably share my stories with those in the group, and know that we're all sharing stories of mental health, and it's relation to photography. It's great to be part of the movement to break down the stigmas surrounding mental health, and how photography can be used to heal.”
