ABOUT MAVRIXX
Mavrixx is a Vancouver-based social enterprise created to promote mental health and wellness to youth, professionals and organizations. Through speaking, consulting and our in house programs, we aim to shift the dialogue around mental health and offer support, resources and tools for young people to manage stress, perform at a high level and have more fun!
The Mission
At Mavrixx, we are ambitiously determined to push the mental health conversation forward by empowering youth, service providers, companies and communities to address mental health in an inspiring way.
Meet Brent Seal
Founder & Head Trainer
In January, 2016, Brent became the first person living with schizophrenia to summit South America’s highest mountain – Aconcagua (22, 841 ft) and in June, 2016 he did the same on North America’s highest mountain – Denali (20,310 ft). Brent has shared his story for the past 10 years in the media and on stages across Canada to let people know that it’s ok to talk about mental health and that mental illness no longer has to be a life sentence. Brent created Mavrixx in 2014 to help redefine mental health so that people no longer have to struggle in silence.
PROGRAMS
The Edge Program
The EDGE is a multi-week mental health recovery program for youth who are being held back from their potential due to mental health challenges. Topics covered are the things that most impact our mental health beyond medication and therapy. We offer this program to groups and individuals. Please contact us if you are interested.
The LEAP Academy
LEAP stands for Lived Experience And Paid and is a 4 month mental health focused speaker training program designed to empower youth and young adults to share their stories, make money and make an impact. LEAP is available to groups and individuals. Please contact us if you are interested.
MINDvsMOUNTAIN
We live in a world where mental health is rarely talked about. It’s often associated with shame and darkness, which leads to far too many people struggling in silence. We want to change that by opening the dialogue and allowing the conversation to be normalized.
Speaking
Our Founder Brent Seal inspires audiences with stories from his mental health journey, ultra-marathons and climbing some of the world’s highest mountains.
Consulting
We offer guidance and strategy on mental health topics and initiatives including campaigns, innovation, mental health policy, youth engagement and more.
