Painted Brain

Painted Brain creates lasting community-based solutions to mental health challenges and the impact of social injustice through arts, advocacy, and enterprise. Painted Brain community has been reaching out society for more than a decade. The first-of-its-kind amalgam of mental health professionals and people living with mental health challenges, our community represents a solution to America’s mental health crisis. Art and media are the tools with which we build community. Creating a message about mental health is what brings us all together. The arts help people interact socially and effectively with one another. They are especially valuable for people experiencing trauma, psychosis, depression, autism, and anxiety. Art programs create dialogue and connection. We have been active in these programs for over a decade. Painted Brain Honest Enterprises' first employment project will incubate an Honest Clothing that utilizes a donation-based system to collect and restore resalable items with the purpose of creating jobs and saving the environment by selling them. Currently, we are in the start-up process. We are collecting clothes and will begin to take photos of our process once clothes are publicized for the first sale in summer 2017.
