The Mental Mixology Foundation is dedicated to mixing awareness with tangible action to build stronger, healthier communities. We are a Sedalia, Missouri-based nonprofit organization and podcast driven by a singular, vital mission: to foster sustainable wellness by raising awareness and creating accessible support for mental and physical healthcare in our community and beyond.
Our Approach: A Three-Part Recipe for Wellness
1. The Mental Mixology Podcast 🎧
Our podcast serves as the central hub for conversation. We sit down with experts, community leaders, and individuals with lived experience to discuss a broad spectrum of mental health topics. Our goal is to drive the mental health dialogue out of the shadows and into the mainstream, providing listeners with knowledge they can trust.
2. Community Events & Outreach 🤝
We don't just talk about support—we create it. Mental Mixology hosts numerous events throughout the year that actively promote mental health awareness and directly raise funds for other vital mental health resources and partner nonprofits. We believe in putting our energy where it matters most.
3. Direct Resource Navigation & Support 🧭
Understanding the overwhelming landscape of care can be the biggest hurdle. We dedicate ourselves to allocating and simplifying mental health resources so people can easily discover what support is right for them.
Our website and social media accounts features a comprehensive, user-friendly directory of mental health resources, and education.
We actively visit campuses, workplaces, and community expos to provide immediate, on-the-spot information and foundational materials, alongside our unique Mental Mixology "swag" designed to start positive conversations.
