"Being open and honest about how we feel doesn't make us weak-- it makes us human."
- Shawn Mendes
Mindzen is proud to work with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Greater Houston to raise awareness for teen mental health issues. NAMI is a 501 (c) (3) non - profit organization established in 1988 by a group of dedicated and caring family members of those living with mental illness. In founding NAMI Greater Houston, these family members sought to establish a grassroots organization that would address the increasing need for families and individuals affected by mental illness to have a voice and platform in their communities.
