ANI-MAY MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH
May is the Mental Health Awareness Month. It give us a unique opportunity to start as many conversations about the stigma of mental health.
We believe Anime give us a unique opportunity to start as many conversations about the stigma of mental health. It moves people from silence to conversation, from isolation to community, from pain to hope and healing. Through Anime, people are carrying with them the possibility to make the world kinder and supportive for those struggling with mental health.
Our 2018 Impact
Anime and Manga have been one of the few mediums that openly deals with issues like depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and many other conditions. Characters suffer from traumatizing experiences, constantly battling social anxiety, suicidal thoughts, guilt over the loss of a loved one… These themes eases us into a journey of hope that is at same time pure and uplifting, yet heartbreaking and bittersweet.
During the 2018 Animay Mental Health Awareness Month, we explored thirty Anime with different characters displaying a mental illness. We educated the public about the facts, statics and what they can do to bring those numbers down.
The Campaign
During this year's Animay Mental Health Awareness, we are shipping 1000 Anime Therapy Kit at no cost. As you already know, social anxiety affects a fair number of our community. It comes in many forms, for many reasons and is a very personal thing for anybody dealing with it. There are many of us who aren't able to attend conventions due to their struggle with mental health and we need your help to bring the Anime Therapy Kit to someone you know who you think they need one to their doorsteps.
GIFT AN ANIME THERAPY KIT
The Anime Therapy Kits are our mission in a bottle. They contain resources, contact information, and little sparks of joy to help people know someone is there for them. If it's the only time our paths cross, getting a therapy kit in someone's hands means we've given them the tools to take a step in a positive direction.
DONATE OR FUNDRAISE
.Join our PLAY ANI-MAY Awareness Month fundraiser to raise awareness for mental health using Anime Video Games. As you already know, help exists but sometimes people don’t know where to look. Your donation allows us to print and ship the Anime Therapy kit to someone who might need it at no cost.
