This symbol means that the wearer either lives with or has an open and accepting attitude towards mental illness.

The person wearing the symbol does not have to have a diagnosis themselves, but it can be a way to express a stance or to show support for a loved one who is struggling.

For someone who is keeping a diagnosis a secret, it can be very reassuring to see a symbol in various contexts that means that you are allowed to be yourself and are welcome to tell us how you feel.

The hope is that this will lead to new discussions about mental health in new contexts, which is exactly what we need to counter stigma. All profits from products sold go directly to Mind.
