Many people are simply unable to do what we do. But evvveryone thinks and feels and experiences this crazy thing called life just like us...and they need us to let them know they're not alone. To inspire them and help them process things too.
So, whether we draw, paint, write, film, knit, code or anything else - you CAN play an important role in helping people's mental health and wellbeing. And, if that's what you choose to do, then that's what makes you a Mental Creator!
As Mental Creators, we stand up for our wellbeing and other people’s through creativity. We are the spirit behind How Mental ;), the biggest movement of people and organisations around the world on a mission to make wellbeing the global priority. #TheMentalMovement ✊🌍❤️🧠
You cannot create your best work or be the best version of yourself unless you’re taking care of you! If you’re not sure how to do that or need a helping hand, don’t worry boo - we got you. Check out my article for Madvocates *here* for an overview of all the different ways we can help you stand up for mental health, starting with your own!
No matter who you are, or what you do - if you care about people’s mental health and want to help them through creativity, get in touch with us on hello@howmental.com! Share why you care along with some of what you’ve made/your socials. And, if you have an idea of what you want to do or a potential campaign: Even better!
Let’s see if we can spread the word about it or even come up with a creative way to collaborate on it together! The possibilities are really endless - whether it's making some Merch together, running a joint workshop or doing something entirely new from scratch! We are here for it allll!
People browing the interwebz are always going through something. We’ve created a cute lil How Mental badge that you can put on your website to direct people to support just in case they need it! A simple way to show you get it, and that you care.
Our aim is to have these EVERYWHERE so that no matter where you are, you’re never too far from a helping hand. So, download them from this pack and make sure when someone clicks it, it links through to www.howmental.com!
Let everyone know you believe wellbeing is the priority, no matter when they land on your profile! Tell the world you’re a #Madvocate and tag @howmental so they know where to go for support. Easy ;)
Story highlights not only help you let everyone know you’re a Madvocate 24/7/365 (and 366 days on leap years ;) ) but also give you the space to go into detail on WHY you care about mental health.
I’ve always found that being vulnerable enough to share my mental journey, including my experiences of depression, anxiety and suicidal tendencies, helps the people around me to open up more than ever before. To know they’re not alone and there’s nothing to be ashamed of... So, to help you do that, we’ve created a lil Story Highlights PACK you can download. It’s even got an example from me and some add-ons so you can go as wide or as deep as you like!
We all interact with people via email every single day. Well, not all of us, but most of us! So, instead of just saying “I hope you’re well”, show people you MEAN it by adding a lil link to How Mental so they know where to go if they ever need support. Here are a couple of examples of ways to do it.
Whether it’s just a tag on socials or, ideally, an email introducing us to the right person to make action HAPPEN - connecting the dots is super important to supporting more people and creating a mentally healthy society. So, we’d be beyond happy to meet anyone you think we could do a mental collab with!
That includes your school, uni, workplace, a creator, an influencer, your local cafe or any organisation you think genuinely cares (or should care!) about mental health and wellbeing. 👌
We’ve even got a short presentation we can send you about HM to help you explain it to non-madvocates (normalcates? We’ll work on that one…)
