Mental Health is Essential Health
Live a better everday life.
Live a better everyday life.
BLND (pronounced blend) began in with home-based care in 2017. As we collaborated with an individual on their mental health and emotional healing, we noticed something - not surprising to social workers - but we noticed that our clients desperately needed to connect with purpose, to connect with themselves and to connect with others to truly heal.
A part of one client’s treatment plan, it included attending daily candle making classes. To connect their hands to creativity, to offer themselves purpose in a day and practice connection with others.
This client was not pleased to leave the house. Mental illness creates so many visible and invisible barriers.
We showed up over and over to support their efforts and instilled hope each week. The client smiled a bit more and seemed to believe they could truly exist here on earth.
They shared one of their homemade candles with a creative label for their therapist, it read: Brooke’s BLND.
And so it goes. We believe in the blend of approaches rooted in a relational model centered in connection, values, purpose and hope.
