Black Moon Taylor for Mental Health 2024 Fundraiser
Join us in celebrating our community's unifying strength by supporting The Black Moon Taylor for Mental Health fundraiser. Together, we can ensure everyone has access to the mental health resources they need to reclaim their autonomy and well-being.
A Way to Honor This Significant Part of Our History.
Recently, the astrological and spiritual community united against tyranny, achieving freedom in our practices. Together, we successfully forged a peaceful community committed to personal autonomy and free thought. To celebrate, I am launching The Black Moon Taylor for Mental Health to support Mental Health America (MHA).
Mental Health Protects You
I truly believe that having access to mental health resources, especially education, provides us powerful knowledge needed to be the expert of our own lives. In being the expert of our own lives, we are more likely to identify our unmet needs, partake in early intervention, and develop the strengths and skills needed to liberate and free ourselves from abusive and harmful situations. This fundraiser aims to provide accessible mental health resources to those in need. My goal is to raise funds for Mental Health America, the nation's leading national nonprofit dedicated to the promotion of mental health, well-being, and illness prevention.
About Mental Health America
Nonprofit
Mission: Mental Health America advances the mental health and well-being of all people living in the U.S. through public education, research, advocacy, and direct service.
History: Founded in 1909, MHA transformed discarded asylum restraints into the Mental Health Bell, symbolizing hope and liberation.
Programs: Community education, mental health screenings, youth programs, workplace resources, advocacy, and more.
A Symbol of Hope
During the early days of mental health treatment, asylums often restrained people who had mental illnesses with iron chains and shackles around their ankles and wrists. With better understanding and treatments, this cruel practice eventually stopped.
In the early 1950s, Mental Health America issued a call to asylums across the country for their discarded chains and shackles. On April 13, 1953, at the McShane Bell Foundry in Baltimore, Md., Mental Health America melted down these inhumane bindings and recast them into a sign of hope: the Mental Health Bell "Bell of Hope".
MHA provides the most recent versions of its Form 990, Audited Financial Statements and Annual Reports online.
