Our Coalition
The room where culture and science get into it.
No single studio, researcher, or advocate can shift mindsets alone. Our coalition brings 80+ entertainment leaders and mental health and wellbeing pioneers together to share their unique knowledge and expertise, and inform each other’s work.
Solving the Field’s Missing Center
Great storytellers want to get the human condition right. Groundbreaking researchers want their work to help real people. Community practitioners want their successes to catch on. But these groups are busy doing their work, and rarely sitting at the same table to chop it up about their experience. We run the shared infrastructure that connects them: turning one-off moments happening in silos into a cultural shift in collective mindset.
