To find out more about the internet’s beloved project A Safe Place Inside your Head, which currently has 773k followers on Instagram, we reached out to the creators behind it. We spoke with Tanner Hamilton, the CEO at A Safe Place Inside Your Head, who said that he and his mom Joanne “created this non profit in honor of my brother who passed away from suicide.”

Hamilton added that “We wanted to raise awareness around his death and for his memory to live on through helping others.” He is the original founder of the non-profit and brought Joanne into the project later on.

When asked how the creator of A Safe Place Inside Your Head would best describe the audience who follows their page, Tanner said: “it is a group of like-minded people who want a community where they do not feel alone in their thoughts. We talk about the ugly side of mental health in a relatable way.”

The success of A Safe Place Inside Your Head has to do with relatable memes that hit close to home for many people browsing online. “We make some, we get some from the internet and meme publishers who want to support the cause,” Tanner said when asked how they select content to share on the page, “It is a group effort,” he added.

This Is Me…i Dive Into Self Loathing So Much When I Make A Mistake. This May Not Match Everyone’s Feelings But I Am Such A Perfectionist To A Fault That I Just Wanna Be Good At Everything I Do. I Focus On What I Did Wrong So Much That It Almost Becomes An Obsession. I’ve Been Managing It By Letting Things Go, Or Trying To At Least. Any One Else Feeling Like This? - @tanner_hamilton22

This Is So True For Me…is How I Act Weird? I Feel Socially Awkward And I Replay Every Sentence In My Head After Saying It Making Sure It Didn’t Sound Terrible. Ever Since Covid Started I’ve Had Terrible Social Anxiety, It Used To Be Bad But Now Worse To The Point Where I Prefer To Be Alone. Being Outside With People Does Not Make Me Happy, Being Social Does Not Make Me Happy. Being Alone In My Room Makes Me Happy. Does Anyone Else Feel This Way? I Know I Can’t Be Alone In This Lol. - @tanner_hamilton22
