Mental Health Matters: Accessible Resources for Canadians in Need

Mental Health Matters: Accessible Resources for Canadians in Need

At Evolve Supply Co., we’re more than just a brand; we’re a community committed to making a difference. We believe that fashion can be a force for good, and we stand by this by donating 20% of all profits to mental health initiatives. It’s our way of supporting those who are facing mental health challenges, helping to ensure that resources are accessible to everyone in need across Canada.

 

Understanding Mental Health

Mental health is as important as physical health, yet it often does not receive the same attention or resources. In Canada, one in five people will experience a mental health problem or illness each year, according to the Canadian Mental Health Association. These challenges range widely from anxiety and depression to more severe conditions such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
