We believe that by empowering parents, we can empower our youth and create a brighter future for the generations to come.
Empowering Parents, Transforming Lives: The Birth of Mindful Youth Connections-
At Mindful Youth Connections, our journey began with a our unwavering love and resolve to help our child. Witnessing firsthand the obstacles and gaps in the mental health system, I first focused on stabilizing my daughter and providing the necessary assistance. But I didn't stop there. Driven by a passion for change, I envisioned a place where parents could unite, find solace in one another, collaborate on innovative solutions, and advocate for meaningful improvements.
Let me introduce myself, I am Winntress Fox, a devoted and determined mother. In the year 2020, a pivotal moment changed the course of this mother's life forever. My 13-year-old child approached me with a heart-wrenching plea - a cry for help, a desire to no longer live. Faced with this emotional turmoil, I acted swiftly, rushing my child to the hospital in Spokane, WA, where we encountered the challenges of a struggling mental health system. Determined to make a difference, I embarked on a mission to revolutionize the way mental health support is provided to our youth.

Mindful Youth Connections was born from a deeply personal journey, one that has changed my daughter and I forever. As a parent, my heart aches to witness my own daughter's struggles with mental health. When we embarked on this challenging path, we encountered countless obstacles—brick walls that left us feeling disheartened and turned away from various avenues of support. There were no available professionals, and the prospect of waiting three to four months for help seemed unimaginable. It was during those trying times that a fire ignited within me, compelling me to make a difference and fight for a better future.
No child should be left without the help they deserve, and no parent should be burdened with the overwhelming responsibility of managing their child's mental health journey alone. The toll it takes on us as caregivers is immense, and the weight of the struggle is unjust and heart-wrenching.
Mindful Youth Connections was created out of a deep desire to empower and support parents of mentally challenged youths, to provide a safe space where we can unite, share our stories, and find solace in knowing we are not alone in this fight. Together, we can break down the barriers that hinder access to timely and adequate mental health care for our children.
Our mission is to create a community that fosters understanding, empathy, and resilience—a place where we can openly discuss the challenges we face, offer each other strength, and find ways to navigate this arduous journey with hope and determination.
As fellow parents, we understand the pain, the fear, and the exhaustion that comes with caring for our beloved children's mental well-being. Mindful Youth Connections is driven by the firm belief that together, we can ignite change, raise awareness, and advocate for the transformation of mental health support systems.
Join us, for no parent should have to walk this path alone. Together, let us create a future where every child has access to the care they need, where no doors are closed, and where we, as caregivers, can find the strength and support necessary to fight for the well-being of our precious young minds.
At Mindful Youth Connections, our primary goal is to bridge the gap between families facing the challenges of mental health journeys with their youths, while also addressing the complexities of the severely difficult mental health care process. We strive to establish a supportive platform where families can come together, share their stories, experiences, and wisdom. Through this community, we aim to foster a sense of understanding, empathy, and connection among families who have encountered similar struggles and formidable hurdles in the mental health care process.
By uniting families who have been in the trenches and learned valuable lessons along the way, we envision a space where support and knowledge are readily available. Our mission is to empower families to learn from one another, gain insights, and find solace in knowing they are not alone on this journey.
Ultimately, our vision extends beyond just creating a supportive community. We are passionate about advocating for change on a broader scale. As we grow and evolve, we aim to raise awareness and take action to implement changes within our country's mental health landscape, particularly concerning our youths. Together, we strive to address the challenges faced in accessing adequate mental health support and work towards making a lasting impact on the well-being of our young minds.
Mindful Youth Connections was created by Winntress Fox, a devoted mother to a youth with several mental health challenges. The journey began when her daughter reached a point where life became unbearable. Through her daughter's bravery in speaking up and seeking help, Winntress embarked on a relentless journey, facing obstacle after obstacle, to build a care team that was genuinely invested in making a difference.
As a dedicated mother, Winntress was determined to fight for her child's rights and ensure she received the care she deserved. Though not a medical professional, she firmly believed in her daughter's entitlement to proper care and support. This deep conviction sparked a passionate desire to bring about change in the mental health care system.
Drawing strength from her love for her daughter and a strong belief in God's grace and purpose, Winntress founded Mindful Youth Connections. The movement was born out of a profound commitment to advocating for the well-being of youth with mental health challenges and their families.
As the founder, Winntress Fox remains devoted to the cause, tirelessly working to create a supportive community where families can find understanding, empathy, and the resources they need. Through Mindful Youth Connections, she aims to foster positive change, raise awareness, and empower parents and caregivers to fight for their children's rights and mental well-being.
In essence, Mindful Youth Connections is the embodiment of a mother's love, God's grace, and the unwavering determination to create a brighter future for all children struggling with mental health challenges.
As the Founder of Mindful Youth Connections, I am not a medical professional, nor will I act as such. It is with great hope that in the future, there will be medical professionals joining our cause to gain traction in the movement we are creating.
At Mindful Youth Connections, we are a community-driven initiative led by parents who share a profound commitment to enacting positive change and supporting one another. Although our backgrounds may vary, it is essential to understand that we do not provide medical advice.
Our primary focus is to establish a secure and nurturing space where families can connect, share their journeys, and find solace while navigating the challenges of mental health. Through the power of collective experiences and shared stories, our aim is to foster empathy, understanding, and a profound sense of camaraderie among those who face similar struggles.
With careful consideration, we have thoughtfully designed our platform to promote open dialogue, encourage constructive conversations about mental health, and inspire positive changes within our communities. It is important to note that while we can offer emotional support and understanding, seeking medical advice or professional help is best done through qualified healthcare professionals who possess the expertise to provide personalized guidance based on individual needs.
As fellow parents, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and compassionate environment that facilitates learning, growth, and mutual support. Together, we can collaboratively raise awareness, advocate for change, and work towards a brighter and healthier future for the mental well-being of our youths.
We eagerly anticipate the involvement of Medical Professionals in this journey to further enrich our collective efforts and strengthen the impact of our cause. By joining hands with passionate individuals from the medical community, we aspire to enhance the resources and support available to families, further empowering our movement.
