The Dr. Brandt Foundation is dedicated to mental health well-being by committing to a safe and healthy way to help, advocate for, and educate individuals and the community building a platform to destigmatize the conversation surrounding mental health issues and focusing on self-care.
Â
We are committed to honoring Dr. Brandt’s life and legacy by collaborating with individuals in areas that Dr. Brandt was passionate about and using those collaborations to create a platform to address mental health.
We know that a dialogue is necessary in taking action towards addressing these important topics. In its commitment to become a resource in educating our community and the world, the Dr. Brandt Foundation was established by dr. brandt® skincare in partnership with The Miami Foundation.
Using the classic Air Force 1 silhouette as his canvas, Dominic’s personal handwritten story will be incorporated into the panels of the shoe – the good and the bad, his real experiences of battling depression and anxiety, the positivity of finding a way to channel those feelings – illustrating the spectrum of emotions that ultimately led to the creation of a beautiful masterpiece.
Â
No matter what the story is, the emotions felt, the things that happened/will happen – Everyone's story is art. We all paint different pictures, but each consist of a variety of emotions to create a bigger picture. Dominic will share his story so that we can learn, listen, and be inspired.       Â
