Maya Cruz

Hey there, I’m Maya! I’m currently studying Environmental Science, and I’m all about sustainability and finding ways to make the world a little greener.
Joining HAPHE feels like a perfect match because I believe mental health and environmental health go hand in hand.

About Me

Fun fact: I’m obsessed with indoor gardening, and I even grow my own herbs for cooking—nothing beats fresh basil in a pasta dish!
Favorite Quirk: I have this quirky habit of talking to my plants. Yup, I genuinely believe it makes them grow better! Oh, and I always need to have something green around me, whether it’s a leafy plant or my favorite green sweater.
Favorite Comfort Food or Song: When I need comfort, it’s all about mac and cheese—creamy, cheesy, and just the right amount of crispy on top. As for music, I’m all about “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles. It’s an instant pick-me-up, especially on gloomy days.
Superpower: If I could have any superpower, it would be the ability to heal the environment with a touch. Imagine restoring entire forests or cleaning oceans with just a wave of my hand!
Hobbies or Passions: I’m really into painting landscapes—it’s like a mini escape to another place. I also love thrifting for unique finds. You’d be amazed at the treasures people pass up! I’m passionate about sustainability, so I’m always finding ways to upcycle and give things a new life.

Three Favorites!

Quirky Icebreaker: If I could invite any three people to dinner, I’d go with Jane Goodall for her environmental work, Greta Thunberg for her activism, and Bob Ross for some chill vibes and painting tips. Can you imagine the conversations we’d have?

HAPHE Philosophy

Anxiety, trauma, and dependency-driven connections are fueling a mental health crisis, with depression rates rising fastest among young people. Our research, alongside World Health Organization findings, highlights how trauma-related emotional patterns are a key contributor.

At HAPHE, we tackle this at the root  by promoting diverse, balanced emotional connections that reduce vulnerability and prevent long-term harm. Each connection rebalanced is a step toward resilience, agency, and well-being.

What HAPHE Does

By spotlighting and encouraging diverse, balanced emotional connections, we create tools and insights that empower individuals help themselves and each other to build their own resilience. Each rebalanced connection becomes a choice  a step toward self-agency, strength, and lasting well-being.

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.
