Supporting Mental Health with Every Candle: Our Commitment to The Loveland Foundation

At Scented Serenity Candles, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. That’s why we are proud to support The Loveland Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing therapy and mental health support to Black women and girls across the nation.

A Commitment to Healing

The Loveland Foundation was established in 2018 by Rachel Cargle after a successful birthday fundraiser that raised over $250,000. This incredible effort made it possible for Black women and girls to receive the therapy support they need, and it laid the foundation for the organization’s ongoing mission. The Loveland Therapy Fund, the core offering of the foundation, continues to provide financial assistance to those seeking therapy, breaking down barriers to access and offering a lifeline to those who need it most.

Growth and Development

Over the years, The Loveland Foundation has expanded its programming beyond the Therapy Fund. In addition to supporting therapy recipients, the foundation now offers professional development, continuing education workshops, and resources to therapists. These initiatives are made possible through partnerships with organizations such as Pathlight Mood and Anxiety Center, The Renfrew Center, and The Calla Collective. In 2022, the foundation introduced the Healers Circle series, a support group for therapists facilitated by The Axon Group. These groups provide a safe space for therapists to receive the support they need while they continue to support others.

Aromatherapy and Mental Health

At Scented Serenity Candles, we understand the powerful connection between scent and mental well-being. Aromatherapy, the practice of using essential oils and natural fragrances to promote emotional and physical health, has been shown to have numerous benefits for mental health. Certain scents can help reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, improve mood, and even enhance sleep quality. By incorporating these therapeutic fragrances into our candles, we aim to create an environment of peace and relaxation that supports your mental health journey. Each candle is crafted to evoke specific moods, whether you’re looking to unwind after a long day, boost your energy, or find a moment of calm in the midst of chaos.

Why We Stand with The Loveland Foundation

The work that The Loveland Foundation does aligns deeply with our values at Scented Serenity Candles. We believe that everyone deserves access to healing, and we are particularly passionate about supporting mental health in communities of color. This is why we feel so strongly about this organization and its mission to provide therapy and support to Black women and girls. By supporting The Loveland Foundation, we contribute to a cause that is close to our hearts and integral to our community’s well-being.
