BALANCE for Mental Health Awareness

About this campaign

Truthfully, mental health hasn’t always been something that I’ve always thought about or given complete attention to for most of my life. It was almost taboo growing up to talk about mental illness. As I got older, I started to realize how important it is to honor your mental state and find balance in the chaos of our worlds. Mental health is just as, if not more, important as other aspects of health.

Through this campaign, I hope to bring awareness to normalizing talking about and getting help for mental health issues. The symbols represent the four classical elements: fire, earth, air, and water. The semicolon represents suicide prevention and awareness. The combination of the two is a tattoo that I personally have to remind me that chaos balances itself out, you just have to continue on.

All proceeds from t-shirt sales will be donated to the Austin Justice Coalition.
