The Birth of Tribefinity
In 2022, Annetta Garrett founded Tribefinity in California, driven by hope, love, and understanding. With siblings, friends, and family members facing challenges in finding support and resources for mental health, I set out to create a foundation for programs that serve children, parents, and pregnant moms with school-aged children. This includes offering resources in nutrition, economic support, technology, and education to build valuable community networks for those in need.
Understanding Mental Health Needs
Tribefinity emerged from a deep understanding of the necessity for mental health advocacy. As an older sibling of an autistic family member, I've seen the complexities of mental health firsthand, both personally and professionally. I recognize that addressing the needs of children and families regarding mental health diagnoses is not one-size-fits-all. Tribefinity needs to foster safe spaces for mental health, focusing on providing coping skills, nutritional guidance, advocacy, and educational resources.
Creating a Supportive Platform for Families
I aim to create a platform where families with children can be heard and receive the support they need through advocacy, education, and innovation.
