In My Mind 2025 was a night to REMEMBER! ✨

What a powerful evening of art, music, and community — all centered around one message: psychosis is real, and so is recovery.

From immersive experiences and live performances to heartfelt stories and stunning artwork by individuals with lived experience, In My Mind brought together so many voices determined to keep breaking the stigma and building understanding.

To everyone who showed up — whether you created, performed, supported, or simply listened — THANK YOU for helping us shine a light on what recovery truly looks like.

Here’s to continuing the conversation, amplifying lived experiences, and creating spaces where every mind matters! 💙

Health care is a VERB! 💙

On the most recent episode of the Reality Check podcast, Dr. Lynn Madden of the APT Foundation reminds us that care isn’t just about treatment — it’s about creating systems that truly support people, meet their needs, and empower them to thrive.

When people are given access to stability, recovery, and compassion, they don’t just heal — they contribute, lead, and give back!

"The reason I do advocacy is so I can be the voice I needed when I was first diagnosed..." 

During our recent podcast with Kody Green, he shared how hope, treatment, and peer support helped him see that a diagnosis is not a death sentence — it’s just one part of a person’s journey.

For Kody, seeing others living full lives with schizophrenia gave him the courage to keep going — and today, he’s sharing that same message of hope with the world!
