why we care
At Bee There, we strive to increase public consciousness about the reality of mental health crises. We see the urgent need for ongoing support for those afflicted by these conditions and their loved ones. A mental health crisis can
be all-consuming, leaving individuals unsure of how to proceed beyond seeking immediate hospitalization and entering the long journey of treatment and recovery. We aim to change this narrative by offering an unbiased, non-commercial playbook and roadmap from the first day of the crisis, providing guidance for living with the condition.
Enhancing Existing Efforts
We do not intend to replace existing mental health awareness organizations. Instead, our goal is to complement their efforts and enhance their reach. We aim to build a Bee Hive community that facilitates conversation, research, education, and resource discovery. We operate transparently and without bias. Our approach aligns healing with spirituality and faith, upholding the belief that these principles can significantly contribute to recovery.
let's Bee There for each other,
because no one should have to
face mental health challenges
alone.
breaking the stigma
Mental health diseases and addiction are often stigmatized, causing individuals to feel ashamed or embarrassed. We strive to break the stigma surrounding mental health and create a safe and judgment-free environment for individuals seeking help. We believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their struggles. By breaking the stigma, we can create a more open and accepting community for those living with mental health issues.
Making a Difference Together
Bee There's mission is not just about connecting individuals with resources, but also about creating a movement towards better mental health care. We are dedicated to working together with our partners and supporters to make a real difference in the lives of those who are struggling. By coming together, we can make a positive impact on the mental health crisis and create a better future for all individuals and families affected by mental illness.
