Who We Are

We exist to dismantle stigma, discrimination, and disparities in mental healthcare for marginalized communities through advocacy, education, and community empowerment.

What We Do

The core pillars of InsideOut are our education classes, programs, and legislative advocacy. Through these, we foster the community empowerment to power real change.

How You Can Help

Mental health conditions affect all communities. Which means all voices should be heard. Help us make that happen.

Our Story

InsideOut was founded in 2022 with the goal of uplifting the voices of those directly affected by mental health into spaces where they are not normally heard but are critically needed. Our core focus is the intersection of marginalized populations, the systemic bias and disparities they face, and mental health.

Since then, we have continued to leverage our team members' direct lived experience in these areas to develop and deliver educational programs in varied spaces, from universities to organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association to corporate industry leaders. We have also continually advocated for systemic change at the legislative level to transform those systems that create disparities into systems of change and empowerment.

How You Can Help

Mental health conditions don’t discriminate, but the mental health care and criminal justice systems often do, leaving millions underserved, without dignity or respect. We’re working to change this through advocacy, education, and community empowerment—and people like you can make a difference. Will you join us?

By sharing your mental health experiences and how your community shaped them, you can help others facing similar situations. These stories go beyond numbers, offering a personal connection that can inspire understanding and change.

As we continue to grow and expand, we’ll need passionate and dedicated partners to work with us to change the systems of power and address the disparities affecting our communities so that others don’t have to live through the experiences that brought us to this advocacy in the first place.
