When we Share, We C.A.R.R.E.!
An Insightful Journey (AIJ) was founded in 2020 as an online community-based project and became a 501(c)(3) in 2021.
We believe there needs to be equitable access, specifically when discussing mental health, goods, services, economic resources, power, and rights. We will strive to attend to these vital social justice components through our values C.A.R.R.E., which stands for Collaborate, Advocate, Resource, Research, and Educate. We are on a mission to enforce social change and do so through sharing the impacts of intersecting identities for marginalized individuals, groups, and communities with an emphasis on mental health.
We use our platform to share personal, professional, and educational experiences to raise consciousness and awareness around the needs for social change. To influence change, we believe in being connected to people at all levels of privilege, power, and oppression. The shared experiences of our CARRE team and community will aid our success as a change agent in the lives of those we serve.
