Our Mission
Break the Stigma of Mental Illness
Transforming Stigma into Strength™
Mental illness affects 1 in 4 adults and 1 in 3 youth, but here's what's changing: we're proving that when communities care, transformation happens. Hearts 4 Minds empowers minds through connection, education, and awareness—and our mission is already saving lives across Northeast Florida and beyond.
This is what impact looks like:
25 Lives Directly Saved through our Crisis Text Line—7 active rescues and 18 suicide de-escalations that represent real families who still have their loved ones today.
Over 6,400 People Connected to Care through our revolutionary programs—3,200+ supported by our Dragonfly Care Coordinator and thousands more finding help through H4M Connect's 200 weekly searches.
2.5 Million Hearts and Minds Reached through our digital campaigns, 40,000+ dragonfly pins distributed across five countries, and 23 community murals connecting neighborhoods to immediate mental health resources.
$2.9 Million in Total Impact Funding deployed to build accessible, stigma-free mental health care that's focused on real, lasting solutions.
What We Do
Hearts 4 Minds doesn't just break down stigma—we build stronger communities where mental health care is more understandable and more accessible to everyone. Our mission transforms how people experience mental health support, ensuring those who need help get help through innovative solutions that work.
We do this through four proven pillars:
Break the Stigma • Raise Awareness • Educate • Connections to Care
Improve Care
We create innovation solutions and direct intervention programs like our groundbreaking Dragonfly Care Coordinator—the first of its kind in Northeast Florida. Through our $1.5 million Alex's Dragonfly Endowment at Baptist Health, we're proving that connected care systems improve treatment outcomes and save lives.
Be A Resource
We've become the go-to hub for mental health information with H4M Connect—our interactive platform that matches people to providers through a few targeted questions to narrow down search results. No more overwhelming lists. Just the right help, right when you need it.
Create Connections
Mental health care shouldn't be a scavenger hunt. Our mission creates real connections through technology, community partnerships, and human touch—from our Crisis Text Line to our mural QR codes that link directly to 24/7 support.
Raise Awareness
We're not just educating—we're mobilizing. Through mental health education, QPR suicide prevention training, community workshops, and our Wear One Share One pin program, we're transforming how entire communities understand and respond to mental health.
By empowering minds through connection, education, and awareness, we don't just transform mental health—we transform lives.
Because when stigma becomes strength, isolation becomes connection, and barriers become bridges—that's when real healing begins.
