Building An Outdoor-Focused Community For People Affected By Neurological Challenges
About us
We unite and empower people affected by neurological challenges through a common passion for the outdoors. WE BELIEVE in the positive power of the outdoors and community. WE STRIVE to enhance quality of life for people affected by neurological challenges. WE ENVISION a global Outdoor Mindset Community positively impacted by the outdoors. We are Outdoor Mindset. Here's how we do it: OM Community An outdoor-focused community for people affected by neurological challenges. The OM Community is available for anyone that shares our passion for the outdoors and has been affected by a neurological challenge. OM Meetup Groups Regional meetup groups strengthen connections and empower people in the OM Community to get outside with others in their local area. OM Adventure Scholarship This scholarship encourages people in the OM Community to live big through a funded adventure of their choice. Why we do it Our story In 2010, thirteen individuals came together inspired by a mutual friend’s determination to make something great come from a recent diagnosis of a brain tumor. Everyone shared a link to a neurological challenge (brain tumors, aneurysms, epilepsy, etc.). Their experiences ranged from personal diagnosis to supporting diagnosed family members and friends. The group also shared a passion for the outdoors, an unyielding enthusiasm for life, and a drive to overcome the hardship of a neurological challenge while focusing on quality of life. These commonalities inspired the idea of Outdoor Mindset (OM). Now, the ongoing connections and great experiences fostered by OM continue the story. We all know someone who has faced a neurological challenge Each year in the United States: Over 100,000 people are diagnosed with a primary or metastatic brain tumor 181,000 people are diagnosed with epilepsy 10,400 people are diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) 50,000 people are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease 1.7 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury

Check out this inspiring art from Joanna in Richmond, VA! 📸 Joanna shared her story and fantastic photography with the community. In her words: - Why does Outdoor Mindset's mission and work matter to you? “I've been diagnosed with epilepsy since I was 16. I wasn't very interested in anything besides books as a kid. I discovered the outdoors as an adult, during a difficult period when the epilepsy was out of control. It took me out of the dream world of books and introduced me to community. It grounded me in a way I hadn't ever experienced before.” - Tell us about your artwork—what inspired you? “When I spend time in nature—not surrounded by closed walls and sharp corners—I realize how often I allow having epilepsy to build subtle psychological barriers that cut me off from other people and undermine my confidence. A landscape reminds me that those walls and barriers are not necessary and I can let them go, and open myself up to the people and opportunities around me.” Thank you for sharing your story and your beautiful art, Joanna. #OutdoorMindset #Epilepsy #TramaticBrainInjury #Stroke #MultipleSclerosis #BrainTumor #Parkinsons #OutdoorRecreation #Nature #GetOutside #Community #CommunityBuilding #PatientAdvocacy
