Welcome to the Colorful Mind Collective!
You're right where you need to be.
“I believe the best way to manage our thoughts is to first educate ourselves. We need to fully understand how a mental illness can feel to someone before we thoughtfully talk about it.” Katie mortin 2018”
Our Mission
Our mission is to remind those struggling with mental illness of the uniquely infinite beauty and energy that resides within them through fashion, community, and conversation.
“Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, but stigma and bias shame us all." Bill clinton 1999
Our Approach
We understand how difficult it can be to start your mental health journey, as well as how difficult getting access to treatment can be. Here at Colorful Mind Collective, we support mental health research, the destigmatization of mental illness, and more accessibility to treatment. We aim to inform and build a community, through refreshing fashion and conversation, that shapes a more positive narrative around mental health and the seeking of treatment.
Every step you take toward healing is a victory, no matter how small. Keep moving forward; your journey is worth it. - You are not defined by your struggles, but by your courage to face them. Treatment is your path to reclaiming your strength.
In the darkest moments, seeking help is an act of bravery. You deserve the peace that comes with healing.
Choosing to seek treatment is choosing hope. Trust in the process, and trust in yourself.
It’s not about perfection, but about making space for yourself to heal. Getting help is one way to show yourself that you matter.
Healing is deeply personal, and it’s okay if it doesn’t look like anyone else’s. What matters is that you’re finding your own way through
Why?
It's important to remember how much bigger you are than your mental health struggles, even during the moments when they overtake your being. I wanted to create something that helps remind people of this fact and helps them build systems that reinforce this belief. We all struggle and feel alone at times. That's why it's important for us as the Colorful Mind Collective to remind you, you're not alone, and there are options out there no matter who you are, what you've been through, or what you are feeling. Yes, even now.
