Matthew Hooper (Matt)

Hey! I graduated from University of Birmingham in 2019 with a degree in English Literature. Since then, I have worked in education and higher education, trying to do my bit to support people who have been through a similar journey to mine. I am passionate about mental health action and disability awareness, so was thrilled to join the HAPHE team so that I could use my writing skills to make positive change. I am also a musician, poet, and writer.

About Me

Favorite Quirk: I know an awful lot about the RMS Titanic, and I have been obsessed with the ship since I was 6 years old. I wrote a novel when I was 6 called 'The Snail Ship', inspired by Titanic. I could tell you hundreds of facts about the ship, but for now, I'll settle for 3: There were 40,000 eggs on board Titanic; it took 37 seconds between seeing the iceberg and striking it; approximately 3 million rivets were used in construction of the Titanic.

Favorite Comforts: Ambient music, lighting, reading a book or quizzing myself on Titanic facts.

Superpower: Magic or Telekinesis because it would be fun to move things with my mind.

Hobbies or Passions: I play guitar, keyboard, and produce my own music. I read a lot. I also love playing Pokemon and The Witcher 3. I have no hidden talents unless they relate to telling you lots of information about the Titanic.

Three Favorites!

Thomas Andrews (he built Titanic, so I would be fascinated to learn his process). Billie Holiday (she had a fascinating life). Jack White (My musical inspiration).

About HAPHE 

Alarming statistics from the World Health Organization indicate that anxiety and trauma are the primary contributors to the escalating rates of depression in our modern era. HAPHE commissioned research has further unveiled a strong correlation between trauma-induced depression and the prevalence of dependency/addiction-related connection patterns.

​

By throwing light on and promoting the positive impact of diversified emotional connections, we attack the sharp and rapidly increasing rise in trauma-led depression rates among young people.

What HAPHE Does

At HAPHE, our mission is to provide young individuals with practical tools and techniques that empower them to prevent trauma and its associated challenges. We offer comprehensive resources to help them cultivate healthy connections with their world and the people around them. These connections are built in a manner that not only promotes their overall well-being but has also been proven to reduce the risk of depression, prolonged anxiety, and trauma. We refer to this approach as emotional connection planning.

 

Are you interested in partnering with us to create a trauma-resistant environment and support young people in navigating the stresses and uncertainties of college life? Together, we can guide them, from a young age, in making and building emotional connections in a way that minimizes exposure to trauma and anxiety.

Our Why

In today's rapidly evolving landscape, the way we connect with our world has been transformed by the accessibility of media networks, technological advancements, and evolving marketing processes. These connections have emerged as vital triggers for overall well-being, making them of utmost importance in modern history. Furthermore, with a growing population of young individuals and a dynamic job market, the significance of fostering healthy connections becomes even more pronounced.

 

The need for proactive depression prevention planning is paramount as our social culture continues to evolve. It is crucial to strike a balance, acknowledging that deep connections must be regulated in this age while recognizing the fervent desire of marketing agencies and brands to foster such connections. This calls for an intervention—an intervention that can shape the way we navigate and prioritize our connections in a manner that safeguards mental well-being and promotes a healthier social landscape.
