Turning Stories into String
Watch as Threads to Hope events pop up throughout the city. These events will help us collect the string for the massive string art bridge.
These are creative & educational community collaborations and storytelling events. Anyone can host one of these courageous connection events.
threads to Hope is Building COmmunity
Building Community Connections
Threads to Hope events unite nonprofits, community organizations, and individuals in collaborative gatherings that connect healing arts with storytelling. These events invite you to share your story—whether through a heartfelt card, a video, or any medium that resonates with you. Each story becomes an actual thread to be, woven into a massive string art bridge that represents courage, healing, and hope.
By connecting organizations to the power of storytelling and the healing arts, Threads to Hope amplifies the impact of nonprofits while fostering a network of support. Together, we’re transforming isolation into community and individual stories into a collective triumph.
Join us at Threads to Hope events or learn how to bring threads of hope to your next organizational meeting.
Help build a bridge to wellness, one string at a time.
Through the TRANSFORMATIONAL power of Storytelling
Weaving it all together
The Stories, The Thread and The Weavers
These threads will come together throughout the year as we collectively spread courage through our stories and strings.
During select Bridge Project events, the community will have a chance to interact and help complete this massive string art bridge.
Each participant can make a courageous connection, whether through their story or having been moved by someone else's story.
Everyone will have the opportunity to spread courage by adding their thread and weaving a powerful testament to collective growth, love, hope, and resilience.
Our Storytelling Sponsors
Mentally Shredded, Stories of Triumph and Flatbread Media are teaming up to create a portable storytelling container to alchemize our stories and turn them into strings.
Together, we're creating opportunities for people to share their stories, turning their threads of hope into a tapestry of resilience and transformation. Through these events, we hope to collect over 2,000 strings to add to the over 700,000 we will use to construct our bridge.
These numbers represent lives lost to suicide here and around the world.
In 2022, approximately 1,614 individuals died by suicide in North Carolina.
The Stories, the Thread and The Weavers-
H.A.N.D.S. (Healing Arts Network for Development and Support)
Inspired by the Quechua word awaq, meaning "weaver," H.A.N.D.S. embodies the essence of weaving together stories, healing, and community. As part of Mental Health Reimagined's mission, we are building a Healing Arts Network to connect the transformative power of creative and healing arts with the mental health system of care.
Becoming a Threads to Hope host or sponsor means joining this network of "weavers," contributing to a collective effort to bridge the gap between isolation and connection.
This is how we reimagine mental health—one string, one story, one connection at a time.
