PREVIOUS WORK WITH A MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE
We ALL go through highs and lows in life.
Times when we feel anxiety, sadness, confusion, anger, and numbness.
Times when we don't want to feel at all and times when we can barely feel a thing, except to feel alone.
We need help.
Emerald O’Brien and Jade Eby’s mental health initiative was a project launched in 2018 and developed to raise money and awareness for mental health and the professional resources that helped to provide both Canadians and Americans with health care.
By purchasing one of our featured novels each month, 50 % of the proceeds were donated to Active Minds and The Canadian Mental Health Association.
WE RAISED A TOTAL OF OVER $1000 IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR.
Thank you to everyone who bought a book and were part of the solution while this mental health initiative was active.
