Collective Minds Apparel, a new brand focused on mental well-being, has launched its “Buy A Hat, Help a Mind” initiative toward destigmatizing mental illness.

EXETER, NH, USA, June 9, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Collective Minds Apparel (https://collectivemindsapparel.com), a new brand focused on mental well-being, has launched its “Buy A Hat, Help a Mind” initiative to focus on the widespread challenge of mental illness and society’s need to engage with the problem as a global issue, opening people’s minds to a new, more inclusive way of thinking for themselves and about others.

“Collective Minds is not and never will be simply another apparel brand,” said Founder and Chief Mindful Officer, Alex K. James. “We launched the brand specifically to raise awareness of the need to pay more attention to mental health and to give people a way to engage this issue financially, emotionally and symbolically.”

“The Collective Minds logo on each hat is a badge of each wearer’s commitment to support the de-stigmatization of mental health,” said Jeremy Sigrist, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer.

Collective Minds brings experts and communities together to drive the progression of mental health. All profits will go directly to Collective Minds’ growing community of partners including The Mental Health Coalition, 7Cups Therapy, and other experts in the field.

The Mental Health Coalition’s (https://thementalhealthcoalition.org) mission is to build a like-minded community who will work together to destigmatize all mental health conditions, enabling equitable access to vital resources and support for all.

MHC’s approach to mental health lines up beautifully with Collective Minds’ vision of a brighter future. Purchasers of the hats will receive discounts to access online therapy from 7 Cups (https://7cups.com), which they can use for themselves or for a friend or family member who needs help.

Headwear from Collective Minds Apparel has been created in partnership with Indonesia-based Topiku (https://topiku.co), the world’s most sustainable hat company. Designed for comfort and manufactured sustainably, each hat is handcrafted from upcycled and recycled waste materials, salvaged from landfills, that would otherwise add to Indonesia’s ever-growing problem of waste management.

One percent of all Collective Minds profits go toward 1% For The Planet (https://www.onepercentfortheplanet.org), a diverse global community of businesses and individuals who commit to donating at least 1% of their income to nonprofits around the world addressing the most urgent environmental issues of our time. “Our materials will always be sustainable as part of who we are,” added James.

Collective Minds headwear, priced at $50 USD, displays the Collective Minds logo and is available in four colors: Clear Blue, Fierce Red, Pure Khaki, and Confident Black.

About the Mental Health Coalition
The Mental Health Coalition (www.thementalhealthcoalition.org), is a coalition of the Nation's leading mental health organizations, brands, and individuals who have joined forces to end the debilitating stigma surrounding mental health and to change the way people talk about, and care for, mental illness. Our mission is to catalyze like-minded communities to work together to destigmatize mental health and empower access to vital resources and necessary support for all.

The Mental Health Coalition was formed with the understanding that the mental health crisis is fueled by a pervasive and devastating stigma, preventing millions of individuals from being able to seek the critical treatment they need. We will not relent until mental health is no longer associated with stigma, shame or judgement and all people feel empowered to openly discuss and address their individual mental health needs.
