Anthem Club Launch: Advocating for Mental Health Awareness and Practicing Self Care for the Social Impact Community

From Covid Isolation to Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles’ recent actions & remarks, mental health has been at the forefront of our cultural conversation in 2021. Join this expert panel in a conversation on how the social impact community can approach advocating for mental health awareness and issues through their work. We will discuss best practices for working on mental health issues and how to make impactful work in this space. We will discuss how mental health intersects with other important social justice issues. We will also address how to practice self care for those who are working on social justice issues that are often emotionally troubling as well as existentially important. Learn from seasoned professionals on how to make everyday impact while maintaining a work/life balance and avoiding burnout and stress.

Thank you again for attending “Mental Health is Health” on September 15, 2021.

Patagonia – Don’t Buy This Jacket

Patagonia has put social impact at the core of their brand mission and values from the start, and their iconic Don’t Buy This Jacket campaign demonstrates how brands can use their platform to make an impact — or better yet, to help reduce our impact. This 2011 ad ran in the New York Times on Black Friday, making a lasting impression for its bold message addressing the issue of consumerism head on and asking readers to take the Common Threads Initiative pledge to reduce, repair, reuse, recycle, and reimagine a world where we take only what nature can replace.
