The inception of Mindful Makings Inc
​
After experiencing the grief and intense trauma of losing her father to suicide in 2014, Simone Hardham, founder of Mindful Makings Inc, promptly undertook some initiatives to support her community. She sought to provide resources and support through the organisation of fundraisers, events and functions.
The aim was to raise the community’s awareness of mental health issues, generate community inclusion and to raise much needed funds for charity organisations.
A few years ago Simone provided assistance to someone who was in vital need of support to address addictions and compromised mental health. She was addiction-free, within months, through her practice of mindfulness through art - she is now helping others to recover. Simone closely observed this persons journey: from the depths of despair (quite literally) to a future of hope and an appreciation for life.
In 2019 Simone was witness to a young man who ended his life. Simone was the first responder and stayed with the young man until emergency services arrived. It was on her drive home that she pulled over and looked at the most beautiful pink sky as the sun set. She knew that although she was already doing a lot in her community – she could do more.
Mindful Makings Inc was incepted within weeks.
