.NAMICentralTX aims to slice through the notions of mental illness with their event Depressed Cake Shop, through May 14.
National Alliance on Mental IllnessHelping them in those efforts are local bakers like, who brings a personal connection to the event’s mission of starting wider conversations on mental illness in the community.
Through events like Depressed Cake Shop and treats like Dills fudge brownies, Hix hopes that NAMICTX can start “a conversation with people who might not be ready to talk about mental health yet.” Every participating baker will have physical copies of NAMI resources laid out next to their confections, which Dills says have already inspired significant interactions at his bakery’s pop-ups.
This development excites Hix, who says “because 60% of adults with a mental illness don't receive services in any given year, and that includes our services, that means that 60% of people are suffering alone, especially in a pandemic. And so the idea that people were able to at least talk to someone and ask questions, and begin a conversation is exactly what the Depressed Cake Shop is about.”
