THROUGH THE APERTURE AND BEYOND
About Mental Healthy 360
At Mental Healthy 360, we are a Co-Laboratory dedicated to fostering personal growth and community wellness. Our mission is to help individuals break free from limiting attachments, equipping them with the tools to become more mindful, self-reliant, and resilient. We empower people to embrace new challenges, pursue growth, and cultivate a deep sense of belonging within themselves and their communities. By creating inclusive spaces and meaningful experiences, we honor the richness of diverse identities and perspectives. Our goal is to inspire positive community impact and nurture collaboration and connection.
How do we achieve this?We believe in the power of experiential learning. Our programs combine hands-on activities, reflective discussions, and immersive experiences in nature and recreation. Guided by our core values—Love, Lead, Play, Belong—we offer a dynamic framework for self-discovery and development. Participants are encouraged to explore these values in everyday life, challenge themselves beyond their comfort zones, and bring their learnings back to their families and communities. Through this approach, we aim to deepen relationships, enhance well-being, and inspire collective growth.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging
We believe that diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are essential to the vitality and success of our organization. Diversity, encompassing a myriad of identities such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, socioeconomic background, ability, education, and national origin, enriches our community and inspires innovation.
We are committed to building a space where everyone feels welcomed, respected, empowered, and truly belongs. To achieve this, we prioritize: • Equity: Ensuring fair and just treatment for all. • Inclusion: Creating an environment where everyone's voice is valued. • Belonging: Fostering a sense of connection and community.We recognize that our journey toward a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization is ongoing. We pledge to continually evaluate our practices, policies, and programs and to actively seek feedback from our community to ensure that we are living up to our values.
Let's Explore!"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
Henry David Thoreau

- Intellectually curious and able to dive into and understand new spaces and new networks. I like to explore different, disparate ideas and can swiftly make sense of complex issues.
- Adaptive Systems Thinking
