Beyond Bridges - Book Launch

Tue, 19 - August - 2025

Join us for the launch of Beyond Bridges, a compelling and unique poetry anthology that brings together the voices of individuals from across our community living with mental health challenges.

Through raw and unfiltered verses, Beyond Bridges offers both heartbreaking and heartwarming glimpses into deeply personal journeys. Written by MindWise members, volunteers, and staff, the anthology showcases extraordinary talent and builds a bridge between the often-isolated world of mental illness and the universal need for connection, understanding, and self-expression.

The book was inspired by the life and memory of Hayment Sharma, a long-standing and much-loved member of the MindWise community. Described by Hayment as his "second family," the group continues to be a place of support and friendship. We are proud to partner with The Ram Foundation (founded by Hayment’s brother, Suneil Sharma) in celebration of this work.
