Jada's Message To You
"Too many people suffer in silence. It was very hard for me to ask for help after gaining independence again due to the stigma I face, but I had to shift my perspective- it isn't weakness that makes us ask for help, but strength."
Our Story
Our Story
Save A Mind was born out of a deep personal journey and a shared commitment to raising awareness for mental health and suicide prevention. My name is Jada, co-founder of Save A Mind, and in 2021 I faced a life-altering attempt to take my life that left me struggling with both physical and emotional recovery, especially amid the ongoing pandemic. My experience left me in the hospital for months, facing multiple emergency and corrective surgeries. I learned first hand how difficult it can be to struggle with mental health and suicidal thoughts, and became passionate about the importance of speaking out about our emotions, having went through the harsh impacts we can face on our health if we suppress them.
Throughout my recovery, I encountered the challenges of rehabilitation and living in spaces that weren’t designed for individuals with disabilities. This, combined with my struggle to find clothing that made me feel comfortable and confident, inspired the creation of Save A Mind—a brand dedicated to mental health awareness through thoughtful, affordable clothing that sparks dialogue and gives back to the community.
Our mission is clear: to spread empathy, raise awareness, and provide resources for those who need it most. We believe in using the power of conversation to combat the stigma surrounding mental health and help others recognize the signs of distress in themselves and their loved ones. With each product, we aim to spark these vital conversations.
Angie, my mom and co-founder, brings her 20 years of experience as a nurse to this mission. Having almost lost her daughter, she knows firsthand the importance of advocating for both physical and mental health. Her determination along with the frustration she faced finding a mental health provider for me after getting discharged from the hospital sparked the idea behind Save A Mind—she thought, what does it take to save a mind? Sent home in a wheel chair with no mental health resources, she pondered the question. Together, we turned this question into action, founding a brand that emphasizes the importance of mental health alongside invisible disabilities.
At Save A Mind, we uphold values of empathy, advocacy, and resilience. We believe in the power of vulnerability and aim to normalize discussions around mental health. Our story is about turning pain into purpose and reclaiming our narratives, so others know they are never alone in their struggles.
Together, we can spread the message that hope is powerful-and a little bit can go a long way, mental health is just as important as physical health, and together we can save a mind. You are never a burden, Always remember, you have so much more life to live.
Love,
Save A Mind Staff
