Meaning Behind Mindful Solutions
Our emblem draws inspiration from the Hmong soul lock and the elephant foot (ko taw ntxhw) — two sacred motifs that carry generations of meaning, protection, and resilience.
The Hmong soul lock —symbolizes spiritual grounding and connection, safeguarding the soul and honoring the unbroken bond between body, mind, ...
Our vision is to create a world where mental health care is inclusive, equitable, and grounded in cultural humility. We strive to honor culture, promote mindful healing, and advance equitable psychological care through research, cultural understanding and heart-centered compassion.
