What is Mind Your Mind
Mental health is one of the Cobb Collaborative’s main strategic initiatives to improve outcomes for all people and families in our community. Mind Your Mind exists to raise awareness, promote resiliency and reduce stigma around mental health. We partner with a number of organizations, including Resilient Georgia, to create mental health programs, services, and activities for Cobb County.
Launched in the first quarter of 2023, Mind Your Mind Magazine is a cornerstone of Cobb Collaborative's mission to deepen the community's understanding and engagement with mental health. Each issue offers an exploration into the complex landscape of mental well-being through meaningful stories and lived experiences, highlighted by conversations with key local organizations. Our magazine seeks to uplift and inspire by showcasing the transformative power of supportive communities and the personal journeys of resilience and recovery. Discover how we weave together the narratives of those around us to foster a greater awareness of mental health and its impact on society. Join us in our ongoing journey to illuminate the pathways to mental wellness in every edition.
