“Making the Invisible Seen”
Founded by Ellery & Sharon Kaye Edwards, I AM INVISIBLE is a trauma-informed nonprofit dedicated to healing, empowerment, and visibility for youth and young adults.
Healing Empowerment Visibility for Every Child
Founded in 2018, I AM INVISIBLE is a trauma-informed nonprofit born from personal loss and a deep commitment to change. We exist to support children and young adults who feel unseen, unheard, and alone—and to make healing, empowerment, and visibility possible for every one of them.
We exist because too many youth and young adults suffer in silence—bullied, grieving, and overlooked. Through trauma-informed education, creative wellness, and community advocacy, we’ve reached over 10,000 individuals since our founding—serving in school systems, community centers, and college campuses across Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, and beyond.
Our programming spans K–12 classrooms to higher education, including outreach at Austin Peay State University, Vanderbilt University, and other institutions. Whether in elementary schools, high schools, or college lecture halls, our message remains the same: every young person deserves to feel safe, valued, and visible.
We’ve recently expanded our team to include volunteer mental health professionals who share our commitment to trauma-informed care and youth empowerment. Among our Clarksville-based collaborators are Dr. Anderson of Youth Villages, Restore Life Behavioral Health, and Vircille Counseling each contributing compassionate expertise and a shared dedication to helping young people heal, grow, and feel truly visible. Their support strengthens our programming and reinforces the values at the heart of I AM INVISIBLE.
Celebrating Veterans in Our Community
We are also proud to announce that our Executive Director, Sharon Kaye Edwards, in 2025 has been selected to serve on the Advisory Board for the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Cornerstone. This appointment reflects her dedication to advancing trauma-informed practices and highlights our organization’s growing role in empowering both youth and military families.
Our clinic team participated in the Clarksville 2025 Veterans Day Parade.
