​HOW TO HELP

At Mind Forge, your support is crucial for our mission to improve mental health through the power of play. Whether you choose to donate, volunteer your time, or partner with us, your contribution directly helps us provide a safe space and the resources needed to help individuals build strong connections. You can also make a huge impact by simply spreading the word about our organization and sharing our mission with others. Together, we can make a lasting difference in our community.



WHAT WE DO

At Mind Forge, we are a not for profit and we believe that play is a powerful tool for mental wellness. We create safe, engaging, and inclusive environments where youth and adults can connect, grow, and build resilience through collaborative and imaginative play. Our guided sessions, led by trained facilitators, use games like Dungeons & Dragons, Minecraft, and LEGO® to help individuals develop crucial skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and creative expression. By focusing on the therapeutic benefits of shared narrative and construction, we empower our community to navigate challenges, forge new friendships, and build a stronger sense of self.

Your Adventure Starts Here: No Diagnosis Required

At Mind Forge, we believe that seeking support shouldn't depend on a formal label or a doctor's referral. Our low-cost and free programs are designed for anyone, youth or adult who is struggling with a common life challenge, whether it’s anxiety about new social groups, frustration with complex tasks, difficulty managing emotions, or just needing a consistent, welcoming community. If you're looking for focused practice in skills like teamwork, sustained focus, or self-regulation, and you want to do it in a fun environment (like a D&D quest or a Minecraft build), you're exactly who we're here to help.

You may see a lot of clinical language on our website but our door is open to everyone. We harness the power of play to make therapy stick, and our Registered Psychotherapist oversees all programs to ensure high quality and safety. We're proud to remove the financial and social barriers of traditional care. Come as you are, and let us help you find your strength in a community that genuinely understands the challenges of stepping into a new, complex world.
