Welcome to the Still Kind community.
Still Kind. Still here.
Mental health. Hospitality. The people holding the room.
Still Kind. Still here.
Mental health. Hospitality. The people holding the room.
Your rent is still due. Your mom is still calling. You barely slept. And table twelve needs a fourth side of ranch.
That’s the work: holding the room while carrying your own life.
Still Kind puts mental health at the center of the hospitality conversation. Front of house. Back of house. The people running the place and the people keeping it running.
Not because anyone needs pity. Because being good at taking care of people shouldn’t mean nobody notices when you’re struggling.
Madison Reece, Founder
Still Kind has partnered with Hope For The Day — Chicago's leading mental health nonprofit — to bring 86 the Silence into every bar, restaurant, and service floor we touch. Food service has the highest rate of illicit drug use of any industry, and more than half of hospitality workers call their job stressful most days. 86 the Silence exists to change that before it becomes a crisis — real workshops, real resources, real conversations with the people holding the room.
Something to wear. Something to share.
An excuse to get together. A reason to talk about the stuff we usually don’t. Hospitality, mental health, and good company.
