About Us

Messages for the Mind was created in 2023 after founder Cate Shirey collected her results from a study conducted in one of her college classes. She discovered how much of an impact the stigma surrounding mental health has on those affected. She then created Messages for the Mind as a mental health advocacy organization dedicated to ending the stigma.

“I wanted a space where people could feel safe sharing their stories. My hope is that with each post we can chip away at the stigma and create a community that supports one another.” -Cate Shirey, founder of Messages for the Mind, 2023.

As we grow, please feel free to submit your story and contribute to the fight against the stigma.

Welcome to Messages for the Mind.
