The Mind is Our Business
A Minds Pursuit
“A nonprofit challenging the stigma around mental health by turning vulnerability into power, and pain into purpose. Where art meets advocacy—and mental health becomes mainstream culture. “
We’re reshaping the conversation around mental health through community,creativity, and lived experience. Born from our founder’s deep personal struggles with his own mental health journey. A Mind’s Pursuit exists to create what he couldn’t find in his darkest moments: a space where vulnerability is power, and healing is possible.
Our mission is simple: to ensure no one feels alone in their struggle.
Through storytelling, immersive experiences, and accessible resources, we make room for people to be honest about where they are and supported as they grow. Rooted in real stories and guided by compassion, we help individuals rediscover clarity, connection, and confidence on their mental health journey.
Mikey Tableman is a mental health advocate, spoken word poet, creative visionary and the Founder & CEO of A Mind’s Pursuit
About the Founder & Creator
A Mind’s Pursuit isn’t built on theory — it’s built on survival.
Born from Mikey’s own battles with addiction, mania, anxiety and the quiet chaos of trying to stay afloat in a world that didn’t know how to hold him, this nonprofit is more than an organization — it’s a movement.
Mikey didn’t just overcome his struggles—he turned them into a body of work. A poetic memoir. A live experience. A mirror for the misunderstood. His journey through mental illness, recovery, and self-discovery lives in every piece he writes, every performance he gives, and every space he builds. It's a maze of moments—manic, messy, meaningful—and he’s chosen to share it with the world not as a cry for help, but as a declaration: that healing can be honest, artistic, and loud.
Powered by A Mind’s Pursuit, our Chaos Controlled Podcast is raw, unfiltered conversations about mental health, featuring guests with deep roots in the hospitality and entertainment industries who share their personal journeys of overcoming challenges, finding success, balance and navigating mental health.

The Alchemy Series
The Alchemy event series strives to create an atmosphere that is a safe space, that individuals come to and be authentically themselves. To feel that they can open up, be vulnerable, to see that they are not alone and that struggle can coexist with friendship and unity. With various activations to distribute knowledge about the mental health world, artists who bare a piece of their soul and share their art to show that their dark place can shine light for others and that a time of pain can create something so beautiful and inspire others.
