Our Story

Why I Created Spoons

At Spoons, we understand mental health struggles firsthand – which is why we decided to create a space for individuals to immerse themselves in a continuous supply of mental health support. At the same time, we understand the amount of information out there can be overwhelming. Inspired by Spoon Theory, our mission is to help individuals replenish their “spoons” with resources that are scientifically based while also being gentle to navigate.

We strive to empower everyone’s unique mental health journey through compassion, support and understanding. May you always have one more spoon.
