​The Next Chapter Project​
 

The Next Chapter Project is our way of giving back to communities that need support the most. Through this initiative, every journal purchase can help provide prompted journals to classrooms, shelters, and community groups, giving individuals the tools they need to build emotional intelligence, literacy, and a personal toolbox for life. Select journals even allow you to buy one for yourself and donate a second toward the project. Once 25 journals are collected, they are donated as a bundle to a community in need — helping groups of children, teens, or young adults access resources they might not otherwise have.

​

In addition to the buy-one-give-one model, supporters can purchase bundles of 25 journals directly for donation or simply buy a single journal to contribute. The Next Chapter Project ensures that everyone has the opportunity to reflect, grow, and develop skills that can change their life trajectory. By supporting this project, you’re not just purchasing a journal — you’re helping spread literacy, emotional awareness, and hope to communities that need it most.

Speaking from Experience

At HeartStripe Press, we bring our mission directly to communities through speaking events in schools, rehabs, and community centers. Our founder shares age appropriate personal experiences and how she lives with mental health, showing how building a personal toolbox of emotional intelligence and literacy skills transformed their life. These presentations inspire children, teens, and adults to reflect, develop resilience, and take practical steps to navigate challenges, while each event also supports the Next Chapter Project — with every engagement helping provide 25 journals to communities in need.
