At Just Mind, our commitment to making a positive impact on the Austin community goes beyond just counseling services. We believe in actively participating in and contributing to the betterment of our local community. Over the years, we’ve taken significant strides to strengthen our ties with Austin by engaging in various initiatives, sponsorships, and collaborations aimed at promoting mental health, education, and community welfare. We’re excited to share some of the ways Just Mind has worked tirelessly to be an integral part of Austin’s vibrant and diverse community.
1. Supporting Local Education:
Education is the cornerstone of any thriving community, and we’re proud to have sponsored initiatives that enhance the learning experiences in Austin. Just Mind has been a proud sponsor of little league teams and local High Schools including Anderson, contributing to the development of young minds and future leaders. Our therapists also have lectured at university counseling programs like St. Edwards, presented workshops at local high schools like Westlake, and corporate wellness education at companies like Whole Foods.
2. Nurturing the Arts and Culture:
Austin is known for its rich cultural tapestry, and we’re dedicated to preserving and promoting the arts. Our collaboration with the Austin Film Society is a testament to our commitment to the city’s vibrant cultural scene. By supporting this organization, we contribute to the continued growth of Austin’s artistic community.
3. Advocating for Healthcare Policy:
Healthcare policies have a profound impact on the well-being of communities. Just Mind has actively worked on healthcare policy initiatives through our partnership with organizations like the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), Texas Coalition of Healthy Minds, and Texas Association of Business committees and work groups. We strive to ensure that mental health receives the attention it deserves in the policy-making arena.
4. Supporting Mental Health Initiatives:
Our commitment to mental health goes beyond the scope of our counseling services. Just Mind is actively engaged in supporting the larger mental health community through fundraising initiatives. We have organized fundraisers for non-profit organizations such as the Institute of Violence, Abuse, and Trauma, which specializes in providing information and resources related to family violence and sexual assault. This organization publishes a quarterly information bulletin, hosts workshops and training sessions, organizes international conferences, and offers consulting services and program evaluations to industries and countries to further its mission.
5. Community Welfare and Safety:
Safety and well-being are paramount for any community to thrive. Just Mind has been involved in events and initiatives that have supported organizations like SAFE, Capital Area Counseling, Austin Clubhouse, Out Youth, ASHwell, and the LGBT Chamber of Commerce. These endeavors aim to create a safer and more inclusive Austin for all.
At Just Mind, we firmly believe that a strong community is built upon mutual support, active engagement, and a commitment to the well-being of its members. Our involvement in education, the arts, healthcare policy, and mental health initiatives, along with our support for various community organizations, reflects our dedication to Austin’s growth and prosperity. We remain committed to building a stronger, healthier, and more vibrant Austin for everyone who calls it home. Together, we can create a better future for our community. #HealLocal
