State of mind, connects with mental health.

In June 2025, State of mind was born, a fanzine on mental health aimed at helping break stigma, fighting misinformation, dismantling stereotypes, and challenging harmful beliefs.

Six issues later, full of voices and experiences, we are launching a new campaign to continue the project and make its second year possible.

At the same time, the Associació Estat d'ànim, Cultura i Salut Mental (State of mind, Culture and Mental Health Association) is taking shape. It is created with the aim of **promoting workshops, activities, and meeting spaces around mental health. **To make this possible, we need to grow the community.

With this Verkami campaign, you can become a member and join the project from the very beginning, helping it grow from the ground up. You can also subscribe to the next 4 issues of the magazine.

NEW FEATURES!

We are taking a step forward with a new A4 format, designed to improve the reading experience and give more strength to the content.

In addition, the magazine becomes quarterly, with issues planned for July and October 2026, and January and April 2027.

This new format marks a new stage of the project, with more space, more continuity, and more motivation to keep building content that connects, makes people think, and reaches further.

This magazine offers an **integrated view of mental health **combining several complementary perspectives. We can distinguish different content blocks:

• Scientific perspective: covering different diagnoses, neuroscience topics, and local research lines, providing a rigorous knowledge base.

• Lived experiences: through real testimonies and short stories that bring the emotional and human dimension of mental health closer.

• Mental health in literature and art: because artistic creation can help understand and express internal processes.

• Community dimension: highlighting how collective support and culture can become forms of care and accompaniment.

  Subscription options

As a new feature this publishing year, with the aim of energizing the association, we offer the possibility of subscribing to the magazine with reduced shipping costs.

If you have alternative suggestions for shipping companies, we are all ears! Suggestions are welcome :)

Rewards

The magazine, in individual subscription format, includes one badge per issue and a bookmark for Sant Jordi.

The badges and bookmark are also available separately.
