Testimonials
“In admiration of the work It’s Okay Not To Be Okay does on a daily basis. As someone working in this space, I’m so passionate about spreading awareness about mental health and these guys do it so so well. I often see people in my community telling their merch me spreading their message. You guys are the bees knees, thank you for what you do”
“One of the most important mental wellness awareness organisations in Victoria. I proudly wear their merch which generates many important conversations in community, often with random strangers. Their school based programs also have positive and long lasting impact on students, with messages that reinforce that it has never been more important to know - it’s ok not to be ok”
“When I saw my first, It's Okay Not To Be Okay sticker on a car it filled me with hope.
Suffering from mental health my whole life, and never feeling comfortable talking about it. I wanted to get behind this brand and spread the msg and encourage people to open up.
I have since bought the beanies, jumpers and stickers.
I wear a blue wrist band with, It's Okay Not To Be Okay. It's something I can always look at that centres me and gives me hope”
“An amazing company spreading awareness and normalising that mental illness and going through tough times is not something you have to hide”
“Amazing charity doing outstanding work.
I have purchased many items from this charity. Everything is of the highest quality and it’s great knowing you are helping spread the word through the car stickers too ❤️”
