Who we are
Blank Canvas is a non-profit organization with a mental wellness initiative dedicated to reshaping how individuals understand, talk about, and care for their mental health. Our end goal is to educate people on the difference between mental health and mental illness, raise awareness about the importance of mental wellness in everyday life, and equip individuals with tools and resources to improve their mindset and overall well-being.
At Blank Canvas, we believe that mental health is not just the absence of illness, it’s the foundation of how we think, feel, and function each day. Through our educational programs and interactive community projects, we aim to break stigmas, encourage open dialogue, and foster proactive approaches to mental well-being.
We focus on helping individuals understand and recognize the difference between a mental health challenge and a mental health crisis, empowering them to respond with awareness, compassion, and proper support. By doing so, we create a culture of prevention, understanding, and resilience rather than reaction and shame.
Mission Statement
Blank Canvas 901 exists to redefine how our community views and values mental health. We create safe, honest spaces for youth and young adults in the 901 to express, heal, and grow—one conversation at a time. Through storytelling, education, and connection, we empower individuals to break cycles of silence, rewrite their narratives, and paint new possibilities for their mental wellness journey.
Vision Statement
A stronger, more connected 901 community where mental health is normalized, support is accessible, and every voice is seen, heard, and valued. Blank Canvas 901 envisions a culture where healing is celebrated, stigma is erased, and mental wellness is woven into the fabric of everyday life.
