Saying that you're changing your logo to "show others who have the same values I do they are not alone" implies that you're expressing some very exceptional values. I struggle to imagine what values are best at connecting to lonely people through their phone homescreen.

The “Reagan defunded psychiatric hospitals” trope needs to die. The wards started emptying in the 60s with the granting or rights to the patients. We don’t want to go back to “one flew over the cuckoo’s nest”. Then more with the invention of meds that controlled the worst symptoms. Psychiatric hospitalization rates dropped 65% from 1970-1979. Those hospitals were funded by states not the feds, so there was a much larger trend going on.
