ANIMAY 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 leave conventions hopeful for the future because honest conversations are happening and attendees are carrying with them the possibility to make the world kinder and supportive for those in pain. Our hope is that our Anime Therapy Kit will be there when you are in need of support and encouragement.
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.
