Un/Do Mindset was born out of a moment no educator should ever face.

Erin Harris, a former teacher with 15 years in the classroom, ended her career in education in the wake of a school shooting. The incident — a gang-related shooting that left one student injured — became a turning point in her life. In the aftermath, Erin made the difficult but powerful decision to check herself into a mental health facility.

There, she learned life-saving tools that helped her stabilize her Bipolar Disorder and ADHD, rebuild her marriage, show up as a more present parent, and begin healing from deep trauma.

That experience led to two powerful realizations that would ultimately shape Un/Do Mindset:

1. 1. We’re not teaching these skills to our kids — and we absolutely should be.
   2.  Trauma is a universal part of the human experience, and these mental and emotional tools are some of the most proactive strategies we have to address the growing mental health crisis.
   3. Access to mental health resources is still a privilege.
   4.  Erin saw firsthand how difficult — and expensive — it can be to access quality care. She realized how vital it was to create something that could reach people before crisis hit.

Un/Do Mindset exists to change both of those realities.

Rather than reinvent the wheel, the organization translates the best of what Erin learned in the mental health space into a technology-based format. Because when it’s online, it’s accessible — and accessibility equals equitability.

Un/Do’s curriculum will soon be used across shelters, schools, prisons, therapist offices, corporate teams, and public libraries — meeting people where they are, with the tools they need.

The mission is simple: get these life-changing skills to as many brains as possible — and build a world where mental wellness is no longer a privilege, but a right.
