A huge thank you to the Cameron Grant Memorial Trust for supporting us in making this project possible. The idea has received great feedback already. These packs are now ready to go!

More photos to follow. If you know of anyone who might appreciate a pack please get in touch

Email admin@weareaware.info if you would like to know more about this, or any of our other projects

Dental Mental Empathy

We have put together interventional packs based around the simple toothbrush. Many from our peer community raised the connection between struggles with mental health and struggles with dental hygiene. We want to use that as a way to connect and empathise with those going through difficult times. These will be packs with information and support numbers to reach out to those struggling. We hope that these can be a way for loved ones to connect when they don't know what to say or do.
