Thirst (v.): A deep, innate, and often unquenchable longing—an urgent, life-sustaining desire for something essential to wholeness and healing. More than a want, it is a relentless craving for transformation, connection, and hope in the face of mental health challenges.
It is essential to life.
THIRST is a non-profit organization driven by a profound and personal commitment to transforming how individuals, families, communities, churches, healthcare and judicial systems engage with mental health and mental illness.
THIRST is driven by a deep, unrelenting desire to bring awareness, empathy, and understanding to the personal and shared struggles of living with the impacts of mental illness. We believe that real change begins with a shift in knowledge, perspective, and belief—and we are committed to being part of that shift.
