What They’re Looking For

Inspire the Mind is inviting writers to pitch personal essays exploring how societal conflicts and crises — from domestic politics to global instability — affect mental health. They want authentic, first-hand perspectives that connect personal experiences with broader social realities.

This is perfect for writers who can blend storytelling and reflection with mental health awareness, showing how external chaos impacts the inner world.
