What is Encouragemint?

We're a supportive online community. We provide emotional support and encouragement in our online forums, as well as practical help for simple tasks that can be performed remotely.

Our recently launched Encouragemint Projects are community based direct-impact efforts where we highlight a particular cause at the local level and come together as a community to make a tangible impact.

We also have educational information about various emotional issues and mental health diagnoses as well as resources such as contact information for hotlines and referral services.

Finally, the articles section of the website has positive news stories, unusual news, and useful information you may not already know.

Help Support a Great Cause: An Animal Rescue Shelter

Our second project took us to an animal shelter in Pennsylvania. This family-run, no-kill shelter allows their animals to roam freely about the property. They have the training, the passion, and an active volunteer program that includes children, adults, and people with special needs and various emotional issues. They do some great work and truly make a difference in the community, but they need our help to continue their efforts. Click here to learn more, watch our full interview with their founder, or make a donation.
