MENTAL HEALTH INNOVATION NETWORK (MHIN)
As a member of MHIN, Translations of Hope (TOH) contributes to community-rooted mental health innovation. We joined because we believe that healing belongs to everyone—and that poems, stories, and lessons are just as vital as science in building a more inclusive mental health future.
Member of MHIN: Why We Joined
As of July 30th, 2025, Ink Gladiators Press—through our hope-rooted project, Translations of Hope (TOH)—became a member of the Mental Health Innovation Network (MHIN).
MHIN is a global platform dedicated to mental health innovation, especially in low-resource, deeply lost, and underrepresented settings. As creators, caregivers, and community-builders, we at IGP deeply resonate with their mission. We believe in storytelling as medicine, books as bridges, and creative expression as a path to healing.
Why This Matters to Us
We joined MHIN because we believe that a shared poem, a community book, or a whispered story of survival is innovation. And it matters.
- 🕯️ The Flame: TOH was born from the feeling of: “I don’t understand why I feel so much and deeply about everything.”
- 🕯️ The Intent: Our books, projects, and future galleries are always being mapped with healing, kindness, and connection in mind.
- 🕯️ The Definition: We share MHIN’s belief that innovation isn’t only digital or scientific—it’s also cultural, communal, and wildly creative.
What’s Next
These are the first steps—rooted in access, remembrance, and belonging. We’re inviting you to:
- 🕯️ Submit your work to The Lanterns series.
- 🕯️ Explore other Bookshelves rooted in storytelling, languages, and healing.
- 🕯️ Participate in other publishing opportunities at The Submissions Program.
We’re just beginning. We’re dreaming beyond borders. And we’re grateful to be here.
