About Us

Growth Catalysts was founded in 2018.

Vision: Clearing Paths that Lead to Holistic Health in our Communities

Mission: Creating Healing-Centred Networks of Communities, Support Systems and Safe Spaces

We Heal in Community because trusted reliable community-support regulates, validates and re-assures us, which reduces the impact Trauma has on Individuals & Communities.

We hope to achieve our Vision and Mission by Educating individuals and communities:

  • to Unlearn harmful ways of thinking and interacting with themselves and with others
  • to Relearn Healthy and Trauma-aware ways of thinking and interacting with themselves and with others
  • on how to meet and support people where they are

We are part of the Social Networks and Community Based Movements that advocate for Trauma Awareness and Healing-Centred approach to solving community challenges.

We Participate and Contribute to Initiatives that drive the Prioritization of Mental Health and Trauma Awareness in Government Budget, Employers’ Policy, Conversations in Society and Family Engagements.

Growth Catalysts Goals

The Goal is to create communities and conversations that save lives and improve life-conditions by making treatment and social support readily available to all. For social support to work, most communities and individuals need to:

  • Unlearn Habits and Coping Mechanisms Conditioned into us by Trauma, Culture or Abuse
  • Relearn New Habits and Coping Mechanisms
  • Empower themselves and everyone by:
    1. Practicing what we Relearn
    2. Sharing Skills with our Social Network
    3. Consciously Associating with people that we identify as Support Systems

Living Full Lives

To Visualize Mental Illness as the Life Transformation it can be – if Empathy, Treatment and Support are offered in time.

We believe that Visualizing Mental Illness as a Life Transformation will reduce the misinformation surrounding mental illnesses and treatment. Misinformation exacerbates the stigma associated with mental illnesses. Reduced Stigma encourages and increases humane treatment and shame-free social-support for the mentally ill.
