Thank you for seeing a way when there was no way.
It’s not easy to trust—especially when you’ve lived with mental illness, isolation, or the fear that you and your ideas won’t be seen or respected. At Mental Health Reimagined, we believe collaboration is more than working together—
it’s about honoring courageous connections.
This image holds the heart of our mission: a collective of entrepreneurs, doers, and dreamers who dared to believe
we could build a bridge from illness to wellness—TOGETHER- .
This amazing group is the foundation of The Bridges Project.
Healing happens when we connect our visions, lift each other up, and give our ideas—and the people behind them—
the love and credit they deserve.
Because what if—just what if—we could change everything by choosing connection over fear? Thank you.

We’re honored to have Premier Yarns and Universal Yarn as our official yarn sponsors for the Bridges Project and our Threads to Hope exhibit. Their generous donation of vibrant, high-quality yarn is helping us create a powerful, interactive art installation that symbolizes hope, healing, and connection. Each thread woven into the bridge represents a story of resilience, made possible through their support.
Every movement needs a little magic, and ours has been blessed by our very own Fairy Godmother. Her unwavering support—both financial and from the heart—has helped bring this mission to life. She moves mountains with her love and reminds us that anything is possible when someone believes in you.
We are very excited to announce that Shane Baskin Hilton, owner of Blackbox Studios, is our newest partner. As our Production Designer, she will bring her amazing artistry and get-er-done attitude to the Bridge. BlackBox Studios is Charlotte’s premier still-photography production resource for over 20 years, offering studio/cyc wall rental, equipment rental, set building and more!
Sound Choice Productions is a premier live events company in Charlotte.
They produce excellent high quality events and provide a first-rate work experience. Combined, they bring over 75 years of experience to the live events space bringing creativity and innovation to all their events. We are so grateful for their dedication to helping nonprofits elevate their fundraising events.
Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death in the United States.
The Bridges Project is committed to eliminating stigma and ending suicide—for good. Over the next year, we will engage communities in a collective healing journey through the creative and healing arts. By creating empowering, transformational spaces, we amplify the voices of those living with suicidal ideation and mental health challenges—as well as those who have lost loved ones on this silent battleground.
This energetic suicide awareness campaign, presented by Mental Health Reimagined, is more than a message—it's a movement. A courageous connection that calls us to reimagine mental health and awaken a culture of compassion. One that moves us from illness and isolation to personal and planetary wellness.
It begins with a thread, bridges a divide, weaves a safety net of compassion, and engineers The Way Across—together.
