Our Vision

We envision a world in which mental illness is recognized by all as a treatable, biopsychosocial disorder and the stigma associated with it no longer exists; a world that supports and encourages wholeness and well being at every stage of life.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to erasing the stigma associated with mental illness, advancing holistic health treatments and improving the lives of all those impacted.

Our organization disseminates information to the general public, supports research and sponsors youth programming that strengthens support systems and promotes well being.
