Mind the Gap Connect
Bridging Minds Nurturing Communities
Why Us?
We connect the left brain's logical thinking and the right brain's creativity through the seamless integration of psychoeducation and creative art therapy.
We provide psychoeducation (left brain) to empower individuals with a proactive and resilient approach to mental well-being.
Using creative art therapy interventions (right brain) provides an opportunity for emotional exploration facilitating personal transformation. We provide a safe space in our workshops for individuals to foster meaningful connections with others.
Beyond traditional methods, we firmly believe in the power of an integrative approach to well-being.
Our Journey
The beginning
Our journey began in 2018 when Meilia and Vineeta began their friendship when they met in university, studying for their Masters in Counselling. In 2020, they were invited to share their insights as both international students and mental health practitioners in a webinar.
This inspired them to create a change in the mental health community, where support for international students was still lacking. Thus, based on their lived experience and professional expertise, Mind the Gap Connect was created. Our successful launch of a pilot program in 2021 validated the need for our service in the community.
Our Growth
The founders joined a start-up program in 2022 to create a sustainable business. Having experienced the challenges of being a start-up entrepreneur, they decided to also create a safe space to support others navigating the entrepreneurial journey in late 2023.
