BASIC Studios

BASIC Studios Beyond Adversity, Stigma, Ignorance, and Crisis When life goes crazy, go back to basics. We want practical progress, not vague motivation. Let’s change the world.

BASIC Studios is a safe place where you can figure out who you are, share your experiences, and be supported through the hard parts of life. We aim to be a sanctuary for self-exploration and expression, grounded in solidarity and resilience, where people can show up as they are and still feel like they belong. Our work centers on mental wellness, mental health awareness, and real support that people can actually use. Our primary wellness program, Building COURAGE, offers actionable strategies and evidence-based techniques, paired with real-life skills and proven methods that help individuals navigate challenges, communicate more clearly, and grow over time. We are committed to an inclusive environment where neurodiversity is celebrated and people are not punished for how their brains work. We focus on reducing shame, stigma, and the barriers that show up around disease, disability, disorder, and other challenges, because nobody should have to fight for dignity while already fighting for stability. Through COURAGE, we seek to deepen understanding of mental health challenges and prioritize mental wellness, building a compassionate, supportive community where more people can thrive.

Winter exacerbates the dangers of homelessness, exposing vulnerable individuals to extreme cold without adequate shelter or clothing. Community actions and empathy can help address this pressing issue.

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM BASIC Studios

We are proud to announce the release of something deeply personal, fiercely compassionate, and long overdue:
The Second Revision of the "Building COURAGE: A Mental Health Workbook for Survivors" by Randi Taggart, in collaboration with BASIC Studios.

This isn’t just another mental health workbook.
It’s a guide forged from real conversations, real trauma, and real strength. It's for survivors who are done being defined by what happened to them and are ready to start shaping what happens next.

Inside, you'll find tools and strategies.

This is a workbook built by survivors, for survivors.
And it’s time to take that first (or next) step with something that honors both your pain and your power.

We believe in the strength of showing up for yourself.
Building COURAGE isn't about being fearless. It's about creating something inside yourself that refuses to be destroyed.

Available now to support on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/basicstudios/mental-health-workbook-for-survivors

Let’s build something stronger. Together.
