CALMnola CLEAR ANSWERS TO LOUISIANA MENTAL HEALTH

We provide education, resources, and awareness around early psychosis detection.

Join us as we debunk the stigma and myths around psychosis! Helping New Orleans better understand and treat psychosis while working to decrease the stigma of seeking mental health care.

Recovery ISN'T a myth. It’s REAL, and it’s happening EVERY DAY!

Psychosis can be overwhelming — for individuals and families alike. But with early recognition, compassionate support, and access to specialized care, recovery is POSSIBLE.

At CALM, we see it every day: young people reconnecting with themselves, families finding answers, and communities learning how to show up in ways that truly make a difference!

Because psychosis is real.
And so is recovery.

If you or someone you love may be experiencing early signs, know that support is available—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. 💙

Real change happens when women choose to stand BESIDE each other — not against each other! 💙

Support can look like mentorship.
It can look like collaboration.
It can look like sharing knowledge, making introductions, or simply saying, “I see you.”

This Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the women who lead with courage, compassion, and community — and who make space for others to rise with them!

Because when women are supported, entire communities grow stronger.

Sometimes the most important conversations happen in the places people already trust!

That’s why CALM brings mental health education directly into community spaces through our monthly library outreach rotations across New Orleans.

Libraries are more than places to read — they are spaces where families gather, ask questions, and connect to resources.

During these visits, our team shares information about early psychosis, opens the door for honest conversations about mental health, and helps families learn where to turn if they need support!

Because when communities understand psychosis, people can find help sooner — and earlier support can change outcomes.

One conversation.
One connection.
One neighborhood at a time. 💙

Behind every program, every conversation, and every moment of care at EPIC-NOLA and CALM are incredible women helping move this work forward! 💙

This Women’s History Month, we’re proud to highlight just a few of the women whose leadership, compassion, and dedication support youth and families navigating psychosis every day.

From community outreach and advocacy to clinical care and education, their work helps create the connections, conversations, and resources that make recovery possible.

We are grateful for the passion and purpose they bring to this mission — and for the impact they continue to have across our community!

Because when women lead with care and conviction, communities grow STRONGER.

Early support can change EVERYTHING! 💙

Psychosis often begins during one of the most important stages of a young person’s life — when they’re building their identity, relationships, and future. Without support, those foundations can be disrupted.

At CALM and EPIC-NOLA, we’ve seen firsthand how early care helps young people stay connected to their lives, their goals, and the people who matter most!

Because the sooner someone gets the right support, the sooner they can begin moving forward.

Share this to help others understand why early intervention matters. You never know who might need this information!

A schizophrenia diagnosis SHOULDN'T end someone’s goals! 💙

On this episode of Reality Check, we sit down with Cecilia McGough, Founder and Executive Director of Students With Psychosis, to talk about what real support for students living with psychosis actually looks like.

Because so many young people experience first symptoms during college — when they’re building their future. Too often, they don’t know what accommodations exist. They haven’t met someone else living with psychosis. And the stigma can feel overwhelming!

Cecilia is changing that — Through Students With Psychosis, she’s connecting students to community, resources, representation, and the reminder that their diagnoses do not define their potential.

This is a powerful conversation about access, leadership, and what happens when we make room for students to thrive, not just survive.

Monthly giving helps make these moments possible — from shared meals and art supplies to transportation and opportunities that help patients stay engaged in their recovery journey.

Last week, our Director of Expansion, Ashley Toney, joined an incredible panel at the 4th Annual Love Yourself Health & Wellness Brunch in Lafayette — sharing her expertise and passion for expanding access to early psychosis care across Louisiana!

Ashley’s work is rooted in advocacy, equity, and ensuring that young people and families (especially those in underserved communities), can access specialized care when they NEED it most.

Spaces like this create opportunities to elevate important conversations, strengthen partnerships, and continue building systems that center compassion and early intervention!

During Women’s History Month, we’re proud to celebrate women like Ashley who are not only shaping the future of mental health care—but showing up every day to make recovery possible.

Because when women lead with purpose, communities grow stronger. 💙

“To me, Women’s History Month is both a celebration and a call to action. I’m an EPIC woman because I lead with compassion and courage, showing up for young people and families with consistency, dignity, and hope. I believe access to quality mental health care shouldn’t depend on your zip code, your resources, or your ability to navigate a complicated system. EPIC women don’t just do the work. We make the path wider for the people coming behind us.” — Ashley Toney

The way we understand mental health today didn’t happen by accident — it happened because women refused to stay silent!

They advocated for care instead of punishment, challenged stigma instead of accepting it, and believed recovery was POSSIBLE — even when others didn’t...

Their work helped shape earlier intervention, more compassionate treatment, and a future where people living with psychosis are seen, supported, and understood! And that work continues TODAY. 💙

This Women’s History Month, we honor the women who helped move mental health forward — and remind ourselves that change is always possible when people choose to care!
