GROWTH TOWARDS WELLNESS
OUR MISSION & VISION
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines mental health as “a state of well-being in which an individual can realize his or her own potential, cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively and make a contribution to the community.”
- Wellness is more than being free from illness: it is a process of change and growth towards a mentally and physically healthy lifestyle.
- Everyone, regardless of their ability or disability, deserves to feel loved, appreciated and valued as a member of the community.
- All members of our community should be knowledgeable of mental health first aid and how to intervene in moments of crisis such as psychosis and suicide prevention technics. This is not medical care. This is not psychiatric care. This is humane care for the dignity and love of others.
- Through our Mind Span Wellness Virtual Community Programs we offer wellness and enrichment programs to individuals seeking therapy and socialization through art, dance, movement, video gaming and music.
- Through our future physical Mind Span Wellness Communities we will offer opportunities to live, work, learn and socialize in a nurturing environment
Virtual Community Programs
Studies have shown that art, music and movement activities directly affect our physical well-being as well as our mental and emotional state-of-mind. For individuals dealing with mental illness or serious neuropsychological brain disorders, expressing their needs or socializing can be challenging, even though the desire to do so may still be there. Our online, live and interactive virtual enrichment programs allow individuals to express artistically, at their own pace, among their peers, in an accepting and fun environment. Art Theory & Practice, Music Appreciation, Yoga & Movement, Writing & Literature programs are taught in 8-week sessions and are sponsored through generous grants from donors likes the Nora Roberts Foundation and the Annapolis Rotary Club.
Help Support our Communities
Understanding serious mental illness
Young people with mental illness are often misunderstood.
We accept our older population with dementia and psychological disorders, because we believe that it is is a part of aging. However, sometimes this is a genetic issue, or from causes that we do not understand yet. We must understand that anyone, at any age, can be affected by neuro-psychological brain disorders like dementia, psychosis, or bipolar that can alter their life, sometimes beyond their control.
