Who We Serve

We’re guided by the needs of the patients, caregivers, clinicians, and providers who seek a journey toward new possibilities.

Our work begins with the people we serve, whose lives and experiences fuel us with the energy to chart the path forward for mental health care.

We understand your strength and resilience firsthand because we've been there too

"I wish I could stop worrying constantly about what might come next: what might be around the corner, what might happen."
"The most ordinary thing I've lost that most people would understand? Potential worth."
"One thing I wish I could let go of as a caregiver: the constant worry. The feeling of never quite being able to stop watching. Waiting."
"The most ordinary thing I've lost that most people wouldn't understand would be levity. With each episode it becomes harder to engage with life with innocence and joy as you start to become the thing you had to be in order to survive it, and not what you were before."
"Living with my illness sounds like screaming into a pillow until my throat is raw. Loud sobbing like a wounded animal. And then, a deep sigh. Shrugged shoulders. Quietly wishing I were normal. And moving on as if I am."
"I always felt like a bad person because I could not do the things that other people could do. I do not feel like a bad person or a failure anymore. Shifting the framing from 'I'm a patient who failed treatments' to 'treatments failed the patient' is so compassionate because it takes away the guilt, which is a lot to carry when you are trying so hard to live a normal life."
