We are passionate about shedding light and destigmatizing mental health conditions while helping the gaming community to come together in support of one another.
Mitchell commented:
I created Fractured Minds to help those who suffer from anxiety and other mental health issues feel they’re not alone. The effects of illness can be invisible from the outside, yet debilitating to those affected, so it’s important to continue raising awareness and offering support. I am grateful for the support I’ve received and want to help others however I can.
