A huge thank you to COLD bringing the heart, soul, and unforgettable energy that helped make In My Mind such a powerful night! 🖤

Your performance didn’t just set the tone — they reminded everyone in the room why art, community, and advocacy matter.

Music has a way of opening doors to conversations that are often hard to start, and you helped us create a space where people felt connected, seen, and supported!

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.
