Why We Care

Around 27.6 million Americans lack health insurance, while the nation simultaneously faces a mental health crisis—more than 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness each year. Every person deserves access to free, clear, and trustworthy mental health resources. Thankfully, today’s technology makes it possible to carry evidence-based guidance right in our pockets.

​

Social workers, teachers, school counselors, and parents all need access to accurate, reliable information to better support the young people and families they serve. But navigating the internet in search of help can lead to a maze of misinformation—often overwhelming and sometimes harmful, especially for those already in crisis.

​

We understand this challenge firsthand. Growing up with neglect, loss, or grief can leave lasting emotional imprints. But through reflection and healing, we've learned how early experiences shape who we become—and how that understanding can foster a more compassionate, connected world.

​

Our virtual salon's conversation-based curriculum is built on the belief that each person’s experience of trauma is unique. In a complex and often chaotic world, learning to respond more mindfully to our triggers—whether in our relationships, at work, or within ourselves—is essential for building resilience and lasting peace.
