MENTAL STATE FOUNDATION INC - California Arts Council With support from the California Arts Council, Mental State Foundation will establish our Creative Community Program to increase arts access and engagement for youth, especially those impacted by mental health challenges. This initiative includes Creative Accountability Groups that foster self-efficacy and self-expression in community with others.
Our Free Art Supply program collects new and gently used art supplies to be distributed to youth at no cost, removing barriers to creativity and expression. Participants will also contribute to the Mental State Zine – a youth-focused publication showcasing creativity, sharing resources, and fighting stigma. Grant funds will support staffing, stipends, accessibility measures, and use of an accessible and consistent space for programming.
The Creative Community Program, by design, includes and celebrates individuals with disabilities – especially mental/chronic illnesses through online, in-person, and asynchronous engagement options. Creative Wellness Initiatives We offer grants to creatives focusing on their mental wellness, funding classes and materials in the arts—such as music, art, dance, etc.—to encourage exploration, confidence, and joy.
We are close to launching our Free Art Supply to distribute art materials to the community and prioritizes individuals receiving mental health services. We are also currently developing a Creative Accountability Group – a community-based peer-led space for setting and achieving creative goals to foster creativity, community, and self-efficacy.
Support for Mental Health Professionals To nurture the next generation of mental health professionals, we provide scholarships to students committed to making a difference in communities, with a focus on underserved populations. We’re also developing a Therapist Resource Library, offering shared therapeutic tools, games, and resources to enhance clinical practice and lower the financial burden on early-career practitioners.
Mental Health Professionals will also be able to access the Free Art Supply to provide supplies to their clients or utilize therapeutically. Community Engagement and Education Our organization conducts mental health workshops (past topics include grief, communication, and self-care) aiming to educate and reduce stigma.
We hold art workshops and participate in artistic local events—such as art festivals and resource fairs—offering free art activities (including in Spanish) and fostering open discussions on mental health and creativity. Through these programs, the Mental State Foundation strives to create a supportive environment where creativity and mental wellness intersect, benefiting individuals living with mental illness and the broader community.
