Spreading Hope One Shirt At A Time

Mental Health Merch

Someone considering suicide once shared that they thought, "As I walk to the bridge, if one person smiles at me, I wont do it." The most simple acts of kindness can have a huge impact. In this spirit we have created JCAC's shirts with an empowering message on the back of all shirts, and fun mental health messages on the front. All proceeds support our no cost community resources (below.)
