Throughout the month of September 2021, in honor of National Suicide Prevention Month, we have partnered with The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. This is the second year in a row we have collaborated with our friends at AFSP. Suicide prevention is a cause that is at the center of our mission, to spread reminders and prevent suicide.
This month, we are spotlighting 4 designs where 100% of net profits from this collection will be donated back to AFSP.
Sometimes in the darkest of moments we may need little reminders to keep us going. We hope this design is able to support those who need it on the hard days.
Follow us on Instagram @selfcareisforeveryone as we'll be sharing conversations guides and resources all month long to help you talk openly about suicide.
Together We Can Help Stop Suicide.

While it has become increasingly more common to talk about mental health, particularly this past year, the topic of suicide – when it comes up – is still scary for many people to think about, let alone say the word: Suicide.
Some may be afraid that by asking someone if they’re having thoughts of suicide, it will put the idea in their head, or perhaps push them to take their own life. (Which research shows is not true.) Others are worried that they won’t know what to do, or how to help if the person tells them, “Yes – I am thinking about suicide.”
We see this as an opportunity to deepen the conversation. We all have mental health. It’s time we take the next step, checking in on one another's mental health, and if we need it, find help together.

This campaign is centered around encouraging all communities to become more comfortable talking about suicide and to check-in on loved ones and their mental health. That is why we are including this gorgeous reminder that says, "How Are You, Really?"
Instead of leaving it to the person in crisis to be the one asking for help, we are empowering our community toward checking in on their loved ones and those in their community. How Are You, Really? represents one of many ways to further a conversation and invite vulnerability in an effort to strengthen connections, combat isolation and help stop suicide.
The hope is to promote community care and remind those in need that they are not alone, even in the most painful of moments.
We see a world where suicide is no longer a leading cause of death and everyone feels confident in taking care of their mental health, while staying connected and attuned to the mental health of others.
We are all in this together... Together we can help STOP SUICIDE.
