The Cornsilk project has ended.
Dear Supporters,We want to thank you for your incredible support and belief in our mission. After much reflection, we have made the difficult decision to conclude our project. This choice was not easy, but we believe it is the right one at this time.Our work with marginalized populations and in peer-based mental health brought to light crucial issues that we could not overlook. Specifically, there were significant internal disagreements about what safety should look like for our participants. These differences in vision and approach made it impossible to establish a unified and effective strategy for ensuring the well-being of those we served.Without a clear and agreed-upon commitment to safety, we realized we could not responsibly continue the project. We believe that moving forward without these essential safeguards in place would have been a disservice to our participants and to the values we uphold.We are proud of what we achieved together, and we will be forever grateful for your support. Thank you for being a part of this journey.Sincerely,
The Cornsilk team
