Our Mission Statement
Nourish Your Mind Non-Profit is our way of giving back to the community that has so graciously trusted us with their mental health care. Our purpose is to provide individuals, families, and the community with resources, workshops and programs that provide education and support to those who are experiencing mental illness. Mental health services through the fund are provided by Jessica C. Sullivan LCSW, PLLC.
Information
Our organization was established in 2015 by Jessica Sullivan with the intention of “supporting those struggling with chronic physical and mental health issues.” According to a 2023 study conducted by the Mental Health Association of America, over 28 million adults with a mental illness receive no treatment and 60% of youth with major depression do not receive mental health treatment. In the United States, there are 350 individuals for every one mental health provider – the state of health in our country is in crisis. Nourish Your Mind Non-Profit was established with the goal of making mental health services more accessible to those in need.

Future Programs
MORE Program Information and Start Dates Coming Soon…
Short-Term Trauma Intensive Program:
Nourish Your Mind Non-Profit plans to work in conjunction with programs that are geared towards individuals with whom an act(s) of violence, sexual assault or other crime was committed against and provide trauma-informed treatment utilizing an evidenced-based technique called Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), at little or no cost to the client. The ART Technique has shown significant improvement in Post-Traumatic Stress symptoms within an average of 2.6 sessions.
Nutrition & Mental Health Workshops:
With your support we are also working towards offering workshops that provide a holistic therapeutic approach to nutritional counseling guided by the philosophy of Intuitive Eating. Intuitive Eating is an evidence-based practice that places the focus of therapy on our relationship with food and the impact it has on both our mental and physical health.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Groups:
Our additional goal is to offer groups for low-income parents and adolescents – to teach DBT coping skills in the areas of mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness to help them thrive and improve daily functioning.
By supporting us to meet our fundraising goals YOU will be helping us bring these programs to life!
