Feminist Mental Health Advocacy

MAD MAID is a feminist mental health and advocacy brand on mission to bring light to dark topics. You are not alone, and your experiences of illness are not invisible. 

Mad Maid grew up in a small village in British Columbia and has lived experiences with disordered eating, suicidal thinking since childhood, C-PTSD or complex post-traumatic stress disorder,  and chronic pain associated with the invisible illness known as fibromyalgia. Mad Maid is part of the chronic illness and queer community and creates content in Tk'emlups.

What does the ghost represent?

The Mad Maid logo is a ghost with heart eyes and a sewn mouth. The symbol represents the historical marginalization and oppression of people with invisible illnesses. We are still here, and our stories matter.
