SHIFTING ATTITUDES.
ELIMINATING STIGMA.
If you’re exhausted, stressed, or searching for hope and healing, welcome.
The Shift Initiative is here to serve as a connection point to resources and relationships.
IT’S TIME TO SHIFT THE CONVERSATION.
We’re your neighbors. We’re your colleagues. We’re your friends. We’ve felt the stress. We’ve felt the anxiety. We’ve experienced the fear as well as the hopelessness. We get it. We’re here to help, to connect. We’re working to shift the way our communities think, talk, act, and care about mental health and wellness. If we’re successful, then stigma is removed, shame is dissolved, connections are made, hope reigns, healing begins, and greatness is unleashed.
Long story short, please stop thinking only about the “me” and start leaning into “we.” You’re not alone.
There’s joy in community. There’s healing in connectivity. There’s hope in a shared experience. If that sounds awesome, welcome. You’re in the right place. Keep exploring…
OUR LAUNCH EVENT
When we began this journey, we thought Shift was going to be a one-time event designed to look at mental health and wellness in a completely different way. Turns out, when you put the right people on the stage, the right butts in the seats, and the right message is communicated between both groups, it can be impactful. It can be engaging. It can even be entertaining. That’s what we experienced on 3/23/19. That event quickly became a launch rather than a landing.
Watch the highlight reel to see what it was all about.
IT’S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY.
You’re not alone. Everyone needs support.
Let’s work together to remove the stigma from mental health in our communities.
WE’RE HERE TO HELP YOU.
The Shift Initiative is a volunteer-driven non-profit organization. We are passionate about our work, enthusiastic about the challenge, and eager to serve and support others who prioritize mental health and wellness.
