Founded in honor of a beloved mother and licensed mental health professional, Miriam Rivero, the organization was created from a deeply personal mission: to ensure that no one feels alone in their struggles and that mental health remains a visible, accessible, and stigma-free topic. Through thoughtfully curated events, wellness experiences and community initiatives, the organization brings people together in meaningful ways while encouraging open dialogue around emotional well-being. Signature initiatives, including the Monarch Open pickleball tournament and other annual events, create spaces where individuals can connect, share their stories, and support one another in a welcoming and uplifting environment. By blending advocacy with community engagement, the foundation continues to inspire hope, foster healing, and remind people that seeking support is a sign of strength. The vision is simple yet powerful: to create a world where mental health is prioritized, conversations are normalized, and everyone has the opportunity to thrive; MonarchMHF.org.
