Fortitude Minds is led by domestic and family violence survivor and advocate Joslene Abboud. With over a decade of lived experience navigating the impacts of domestic violence trauma support, Joslene understands firsthand the lasting effects trauma can have on individuals, children, and families. Through her own journey of recovery, she recognized the need for practical, accessible educational supplies and emotional wellbeing resources that help people understand their emotions, build resilience, develop healthy relationships, and support healing. This lived experience, combined with a passion for prevention, early intervention, and education, inspired the creation of Fortitude Minds' wellbeing and educational resources. Today, Fortitude Minds is dedicated to equipping children, young people, and adults with the tools they need for mental health support, enabling them to build emotional wellbeing, strengthen relationships, and create safer futures while providing effective trauma support.

Fortitude Minds offers a diverse range of educational supplies designed to support trauma-informed wellbeing, including resources for emotional wellbeing and domestic violence trauma support, aimed at individuals from ages 3 through adulthood. Our products align with the Fortitude 4™ Framework: Explore, Understand, Express, and Manage. Through our reusable workbooks and journals, users can enhance their emotional awareness, regulation, resilience, and communication skills, all while fostering social-emotional learning. Additionally, our resources serve as essential mental health support, assisting in prevention, early intervention, and recovery. They provide practical educational tools to help individuals navigate emotions, build confidence, strengthen wellbeing, and promote healthier relationships at home, in schools, and throughout the community.
