Our Mission
At Brave Little Minds, our mission is to empower families to talk openly about mental health by providing children, parents, and caregivers with compassionate, relatable stories and practical tools. We strive to foster emotional resilience, kindness, and understanding, helping every child feel seen, supported, and confident in expressing their feelings. By sharing our journey and resources, we aim to reduce stigma, nurture hope, and build a community where love and support flourish—no matter the challenges a family may face.
Our Vision
We aim to grow a meaningful book series that addresses important emotional and mental health topics, such as understanding, family communication, and empathy. We collaborate with mental
health professionals, educators, and therapists to provide additional resources and workshops for families. As we grow, we are passionate about ensuring diverse representation in our books so that every child can see themselves reflected in our stories.
Our Books
We have designed our books to help explain mental illness in families in a safe and supportive manner. Our books provide a gentle introduction to complex mental health topics, such as bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and others. These books help children better understand mental illness, recognize their emotions, and feel less alone.
Our first book, Mommy’s Big Feelings, Unbreakable Love, is a tale about a child and parent finding their way through the complexities of bipolar disorder together. This book has reduced stigma around mental illness and empowered children to express their feelings, strengthening bonds between children, parents, and caregivers.
The Future of Brave Little Minds
We’ll be continuing our journey by increasing our book series. Each new book will focus on a new mental health topic, providing children and their families a way to find their way through the highs and lows of mental illness.
One of our main aims is to represent diverse family experiences in our books. We strive to ensure that every child can see their own experience reflected in our stories. To achieve this, we are committed to including and representing all children while maintaining a strong focus on diversity.
