Jacksonville Business Journal: Historic Avondale is local nonprofit's site for fourth mural art

Hearts 4 Minds, Inc. is the local nonprofit that has spearheaded the project. The organization was established in 2018 by Sheryl and Todd Johnson following the death of their son Alex, who struggled with anxiety and depression.

The Johnsons have since dedicated themselves to leading the charge to break down the stigma of mental illness. The goals are to leverage an ounce of prevention, raise awareness and facilitate early identification and treatment.
