About The Mental Lens
Mental clarity and advocacy in the age of AI
Mission
A Human-First Mission
The Mental Lens exists to support mental clarity, emotional wellbeing, and thoughtful advocacy in a fast-moving, technology-shaped world. The work here focuses on helping people think more clearly, set healthier boundaries, and navigate modern demands without losing their humanity.
This is not about optimization or constant self-improvement. It’s about creating the mental space to reset, reflect, and respond with intention—at work, in daily life, and in moments that matter.
Why The Mental Lens exists
Life moves fast. Technology accelerates it. And mental clarity often becomes collateral damage.
The Mental Lens was created to help people pause, refocus, and reconnect with what actually matters. Not just to be more productive, but to be more present, grounded, and emotionally resilient.
This space blends mental health awareness with practical frameworks for navigating burnout, decision fatigue, and cognitive overload. It’s about reducing stigma, simplifying mental fitness, and offering guidance that respects both ambition and human limits.
Because how you see yourself—and the world around you—shapes every decision you make.
Writing for Clarity and Reflection
The blog is where ideas take shape. It’s a space for honest reflection, practical tools, and real stories that treat mental health as something to care for proactively—not only in moments of crisis.
Posts explore topics like burnout, boundaries, decision fatigue, and the mental impact of modern work and technology. The goal is not to overwhelm, but to offer approachable insights and frameworks that meet people where they are.
About the Founder
Chris Cage is the founder and creative director of The Mental Lens and a mental health advocate focused on clarity, boundaries, and human-centered approaches to modern work and technology.
Certified as a Mental Health Champion through Mental Wellbeing Insights, Chris serves as a mental health signposter within his organization—helping colleagues navigate available resources, tools, and support without positioning himself as a clinician or provider of care.
His work centers on a simple belief: mental health support should be accessible, stigma-free, and grounded in trust. The Mental Lens reflects that belief by offering guidance, frameworks, and perspective for people navigating complexity in an AI-driven world.
