ERASING THE STIGMA OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

Help us shatter the silence in Central Texas.

TALK ABOUT IT

TALK ABOUT IT

Our presence is the first step in the healing process.

Our mission is to erase the stigma about mental health and encourage conversations to shatter the silence.

Through our efforts, we strive to bring the topic of mental health into the open by educating our community and bringing awareness to the warning signs. We can help reach people who feel unheard and disconnected.
