Shout-out to our very own Dr. Peter Thomas 💙

We’re proud to share that Dr. Peter Thomas of Amplified Minds was recently featured in a CBS News Texas story highlighting the importance of mental health support during crisis situations.

This video is a powerful reminder that mental health matters and that compassionate support can save lives.

Congrats to Peter on the feature — and thank you for the work you do!

Watch the story here:

Every day, first responders are required to make split-second decisions, and sometimes, those decisions can mean the difference between life and death. Now, the Dallas Police Department is sharing bodycam video of a group of officers' heroic actions.

✨ A Huge Thank You for an AMAZING Night! ✨

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped raise over $5,000 for Amplified Minds during the 2nd Annual Illuminating Nights – Emo Holiday Edition! These funds will directly support members of our community, helping us continue to provide free mental health resources for creatives. 💛

A special thank you to Ryker Hall, cellist Bri Sargent & Friends and everyone who donated — your support makes a real difference and allows us to amplify minds, hearts, and lives every day.

🎉 2025 Was Incredible – Thanks to YOU! 🎉

With every donation, partnership, volunteer hour, and word of encouragement, YOU helped make Amplified Minds a place where people feel seen, supported, and never alone. 💛

This year, we served hundreds of individuals, with nearly 75% being creatives – artists, musicians, and performers seeking support. We expanded our programming to meet community needs with Music Therapy, our performer-focused support group The Progression, Art Therapy, and five free weekly group therapy sessions.

💡 Nearly two-thirds of participants attended 21+ sessions, showing these spaces aren’t just helpful, they’re essential.

We also launched our quarterly series, Coffee + Conversation, creating space for honest conversations that matter. And let’s not forget our tremendous success with Louder Than Stigma – an event that brought the community together, celebrated mental health awareness, and reminded everyone that you are never alone.

We are proud to have partnered with numerous local and national organizations this year, amplifying our impact and expanding access to free mental health care. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to every partner organization, donor, supporter, and volunteer who helped make this work possible. Your belief in our mission allows us to support creatives when they need it most.

As we look to 2026, we are excited to continue growing, expanding into Fort Worth, and amplifying minds, hearts, and lives, reminding every creative that you are never alone and hope is always within reach. 💛
