25.01.2022 TRADEMUTT Have you heard about Trademutt? Have you seen these bright and awesome shirts getting around before? Well, they're not just fashionable, they hold a very important message and raise awareness around mental health! Check out the Trademutt website about their impact Here's a picture of Tegan and John in their Trademutt shirts ... "TradeMutt was created by two tradies who had an idea to use funky work shirts to start conversations about mental health among the blue collar community of Australia. We exist to drive the much needed social and cultural shift required to prevent Australian lives from becoming statistics to the alarming rates of suicide in this country. What started as a simple idea to get people talking on site, TradeMutt has seen overwhelming support from communities all over Australia, extending far beyond the building site." https://www.trademutt.com/about-trademutt #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #itsnotweaktospeak #ruok #trademutt
