Why Access To These Materials Matter
We stand at the forefront of a global mental health crisis, underscored by a haunting statistic: one suicide happens every eleven minutes in the United States alone. Shockingly, suicide ranks as the second leading cause of death among those aged 10-14 and 25-34, while anxiety and depression also continue their ominous ascent. Amidst this dire landscape, studies consistently affirm the transformative power of KINDNESS, coupled with empathy, gratitude, awareness, and self-care/love, in profoundly enhancing overall well-being and mental health.
The urgency of the situation demands a collective response. Our communities, neighborhoods, businesses, schools, and common areas must be equipped with abundant tools, materials, and resources to effect a substantial impact on individual mental health and holistic wellness.
Enter Rewired & Real's Treasure Boxes, Unlocking Kindness Challenge & MillionAOK Movement— dynamic initiatives designed to effortlessly deliver essential materials, activities, funds, and resources that cater to individuals of all ages, guiding them towards prioritizing their overall well-being. We aspire to instill a sense of self-love that empowers individuals to seamlessly integrate mindful and kind tools into their daily routines helping to improve ones overall mental health and wellbeing.
