"Mental health problems don't define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but, importantly, you are not the rain." - Matt Haig Mental health still does not happen to be an open minded conversation in households. With no proper definitions and labels to identify mental illness , thousands of people still lack the resources they require. Just like many other words that have been stigmatized , mental health still earns its top spot in being considered a taboo. Living in a world where people make New Year resolutions to march into gyms, why not spend a little time thinking about your mind that does so much work? MindChamps is a brainchild of conviction and passion fueled by an undying resilience to create a change, an impact and provide a safe space for the youth. MindChamps is a brainchild of conviction and passion fueled by an undying resilience to create a change, an impact and provide a safe space for the youth. In 2019 , a group of young girls, who were a part of the 1000 Girls 1000 Futures Mentorship Program of the New York Academy of Science, decided to create a platform to rebuild the societal structures that surround mental health, therefore MindChamps was born. From launching our first E-magazine in July of 2019, we have expanded our impact gradually. We seek to build a strong and powerful vocal platform for youth around the globe to express their voices and speak for change. Through our podcast (Yours Mindfully) and various other collaborations and initiatives we hope to rectify the mistakes surrounding mental health awareness. This in turn is sure to help many others stand up to destigmatize mental health and the priority it deserves.
