Giving back: supporting mental health & wellness
We make social impact accessible for our customers by contributing to initiatives relevant to our community.
We donate 10% of the sales from our handmade crochet scarves to non-profit organizations that remove barriers to access and support mental health and wellness.
The Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective's mission is to remove the barriers that Black people and other marginalized communities experience getting access to or staying connected with emotional health care and healing. They achieve this through a healing justice framework centered on education, training, advocacy, and creative arts.
The Therapy Fund Foundation's mission is to eliminate barriers to Black healing for those who have been historically excluded throughout the diaspora, by providing mental health education, advocacy, and therapeutic services at no cost to the client, that address those suffering from racial trauma, anxiety, depression, and other ailments due to systemic oppression, economic suffering, and intergenerational trauma that has not been addressed in the past.
They do this while also compensating the therapists who serve them an adequate rate, and ensuring community has access to culturally responsive clinicians who practice with an anti-racist lens, while also aiming to support the tuition costs of Black clinicians who will serve this community.
