About Hearts 4 Minds

The mission of Hearts 4 Minds Inc. (“H4M”) is to help build healthy futures by breaking down the stigma of mental illness and ensuring that people impacted by mental illness get the help they need. We never want a family to lose a loved one simply because they didn’t know where to turn.

This mission is personal. We lost our oldest son Alex on August 12, 2017, just one week before his 23rd birthday, after he lost his battle with depression and anxiety.

Watching a loved one suffer from mental illness is one of the most frustrating and helpless experiences. The fact that it is often done in secret makes the struggle nearly impossible. Although we tried to provide Alex with support and connect him to medical providers, we were not adequately educated on his illness, and his care was never consistent or accessible in a timely way.

We know there are so many parents, siblings, friends and loved ones out there feeling the same sense of frustration and hopelessness that we felt. A tragedy changed us, but it also drives us to help others as they maneuver through treatment and emerge successful on the other side
