MÄDCHEN AMICK
Founder / President / Board Chair

Mädchen Amick came onto the Hollywood scene starring in the David Lynch directed cult classic Twin Peaks. Never one to rest on her laurels, after a long and successful acting career, Mädchen has also become a successful writer and director. Among her directorial credits are hit television shows such as Brilliant Minds and Riverdale, to which she's also starred.

Close to her heart is her mental health work around the globe as she continues to advocate for reform on Capitol Hill and speak at the United Nations. Because of Mädchen and her family’s firsthand experience of the inadequacies of our current mental healthcare system, they founded the non-profit Don’t MiND Me.

Among their crucial initiatives is the Crisis Intervention Scholarship Fund that provides financial support for individuals in need of primary mental health treatment without payment options. Their newest project in development is the Mental Health Recovery of Palm Springs with a long-term and holistic approach to provide all levels of care.

She also sits on the National Board of SAG-Aftra and the American Psychiatric Association Foundation.
