Inspiring Futures Media is the creative foundation behind
Inspiring Futures Media is the professional organisation and publishing house that powers campaigns, books, and digital tools to support emotional wellbeing.
At the heart of our work is:
Our registered trademark and emotional movement — dedicated to helping people, especially youth, speak up, get help, and heal.
Everything we do flows through this mission:
"The cost of silence is too high. Let’s give every voice the power to be heard."
1 in 6 children has a diagnosable mental health condition
1 in 3 young people has experienced cyberbullying
Suicide is among the leading causes of death for people under 25
Despite growing awareness, far too many still suffer in silence. Whether it’s emotional pain, bullying, anger, or suicidal thoughts — the silence around these issues is costing us lives.
We created Inspiring Futures Media and The Cost of Silence® to break that silence with real, relatable, life-saving tools.
“ The Cost of Silence® doesn’t just affect individuals — it affects families, schools, and entire communities. Our mission is to speak where others stay silent, and to help others do the same.”

Emotional health is treated with the same urgency as physical health
Struggling is understood as part of the human experience — not a weakness
Young people feel safe to speak, and parents feel equipped to support them
Silence doesn’t isolate — it invites conversation, healing, and change
Stories are not just told — they’re used to save lives
