Don’t MiND Me Foundation: Bridging Crisis and Recovery in Mental Healthcare

In this episode of Mission Matters, I sit down with Mädchen Amick and Mina Tobias, Co-Founders of the Don’t MiND Me Foundation, to talk about their deeply personal mission to transform mental healthcare access in America. Inspired by their family’s experience navigating bipolar disorder, Mädchen and Mina are working to bridge a critical gap in the system — the space between crisis intervention and long-term recovery. We discuss how their Crisis Intervention Scholarship Fund helps families access immediate care when they need it most, their advocacy efforts to reduce stigma around mental illness, and their vision for developing a long-term recovery center in Palm Springs. We also cover their upcoming 5th Annual Gala and Golf Tournament, which supports their expanding impact. This conversation is powerful, honest, and hopeful — and a reminder that mental health recovery is not just about surviving crisis, but building sustainable pathways forward. 🔍 What You’ll Learn: The gap between crisis care and long-term mental health recovery How the Don’t MiND Me Foundation supports families in urgent need Why reducing stigma is essential to better outcomes Their vision for a long-term recovery center in Palm Springs How advocacy, education, and funding can reshape mental healthcare access 💙 About Don’t MiND Me Foundation The Don’t MiND Me Foundation is committed to improving access to mental healthcare, supporting families during crisis, and creating long-term recovery solutions. 🔗 Learn more: https://www.dontmindme.org 🎧 Subscribe to Mission Matters for more conversations with mission-driven leaders making real impact. #MissionMatters #DontMiNDMe #MentalHealthAdvocacy #MentalHealthAwareness #CrisisIntervention #RecoveryMatters #MentalHealthcare
