Episode Synopsis

Erin Harris, founder and executive director of Un/Do Mindset, has turned her personal journey with trauma, including surviving a school shooting and navigating the challenges of mental health treatment, into a mission to bring trauma-responsive tools and skills to communities worldwide. Drawing on her experiences as an educator and insights from her time in mental health facilities, Erin established Un/Do Mindset to address the pervasive mental health crisis and make these vital resources accessible to all. “Mental health is at the core of all of our human struggles,” she shares, emphasizing the importance of equipping individuals—particularly children—with the tools to navigate trauma and build resilience.

Through Un/Do Mindset, Erin has developed a comprehensive, computer-based curriculum comprising 35 lessons that demystify the brain's functions and offer practical skills for emotional regulation and decision-making. The organization also boasts a dynamic junior board of middle school, high school, and college students who help shape its approach, ensuring it resonates with the next generation. As Erin reflects, “We all have trauma. Being human is uncomfortable, but no one should feel shame in that.” Un/Do Mindset’s work aims to normalize these conversations, provide equitable access to mental health resources, and foster a world where individuals can thrive emotionally, mentally, and physically.
