SHIFTING ATTITUDES.
STRENGTHENING RELATIONSHIPS.
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.

HOW CAN WE HELP?

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…

REAL TALK.

We’re here to help shift the way communities think, talk, act, and care about mental health and wellness by serving as a connection point to resources and relationships for those who care for emotionally intense young people.
The Making Shift Happen Podcast is built to bring you “real talk” discussions featuring your friends, neighbors, and industry experts. Expect filter-free discussions with real people talking about real life with real stories and real solutions.

Or one of these streaming platforms.

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.

Tell your story. Be open. Be honest. Let people in to see the real you. The more people are willing to talk about mental health, the more shift can happen!

Is your company ready for a conversation about mental health?

If so, we’re really good at making what many would consider a difficult conversation a real, authentic, and engaging one. (Sometimes it can even be entertaining. Seriously.)
