Mental Health Awareness

Mental illness and disorders are a serious problem that affects millions of people, and we believe that mental illness should be treated like any other form of medical treatment - as something that can be addressed, prevented and treated. Because it really does exist, and it can be incredibly difficult to talk about.

When you're suffering from a mental illness, it's hard to know where to turn for help. You may feel like you don't want to burden your friends or family with your problems, but you also don't want to go through it alone. In fact, many people suffering from mental illness are more willing to help others than themselves - they just need someone who understands what they're going through.

At nuts&needles, we understand that it can be difficult to talk about a problem that isn't always easy to explain. We've been there ourselves, and we know what it's like to feel like no one understands. That's why we're here: because we really do understand.

We want to raise awareness about mental illness and help break the stigma surrounding it by creating wearable accessories in Mental Health Awareness colors.

We work to destigmatize mental illness by providing information about the causes and treatment options for mental illness in a way that is accessible to anyone who needs it. We also aim to help people find ways to prevent or treat mental illness so they can lead healthy and productive lives.
