May is Mental Health Awareness Month – a time to raise both awareness and funds for this often times silent struggle. It also serves as a reminder to take care of ourselves and to be aware of our personal well-being.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), one in five adults experiences a mental illness in a given year. On that same note, one in five youth experiences a mental disorder during their life. You can show your support and help make a difference with two of our CHARITY BY DESIGN bangles:
