About Us

The State of Mind program was founded in 2021 by Canyon Crest Academy senior Aedan Henckels.

Originally an in-person speaker series focused on mental health, State of Mind has grown into a podcast platform that advocates mental health awareness and helps teens deal with stress and pressure.

Keynotes include mental health experts who shed light on the teen mental health epidemic, and experts in dealing with mental pressures, such as an Olympian, an ER doctor, and a Navy SEAL.
