Our Mission
Building Resilient Communities through Mental Health Education & Awareness
Through our programs, we decrease stigma, increase knowledge, and give people the skills they need to flourish
Our Vision
We envision a world where mental well-being is proactively prioritized. A world where it’s understood, valued, and treated with the same urgency, dignity, and care as physical health. No stigma. No silence.

Our Story
In my 30 plus years of working as a therapist and psychopharmacologist, I have become increasingly aware of the shame, stigma and lack of education that exists within communities around mental health challenges and mental disorders.
In 2017, a patient who had moved out of state, sadly lost his battle with depression and anxiety and died by suicide. Mental Health Collaborative was sparked in his honor and in his memory as well as in memory of the many other people that suffer silently and have tragically lost their lives too early.
We believe that with education and awareness, we can work together to decrease stigma and open the door to conversations about mental illness. Our mission is to build informed, resilient communities through education and awareness. We hope to improve mental health literacy in as many communities as we can.
