"We need to stop just pulling people out of the river.

We need to go upstream and find out WHY they're falling in."

                              Desmond Tutu 



 Please consider investing in our community and help us continue our journey "upstream" as we press on to promote mental wellness. 

 Our mental health does not suddenly get well when a virus leaves our body. Individual struggles are not individual and we have our best mental wellness when communities work together.

  We can socialize by a kind word, kind eye contact, and a kind gesture, all while social distancing. We know this is crucial from our own personal struggles.  Embracing those struggles communicates understanding, empathy, and resiliency. 

OUR HEARTS WORK TO HEAL OUR MINDS..... TOGETHER!
