Why we started
Why was One Kind Heart created?
One Kind Heart is a student-run initiative started to help spread awareness about students living with debilitating mental health issues. We all know somebody who always isolates themselves or suddenly abandons their favorite activities,falls asleep at their desk in school or starts failing classes because they cannot focus or experiences rapid mood swings. However, the people we know and love never talk about their internal struggles. Our friends are struggling silently and we wanted to spread some positivity into the environment by letting them know that they are loved.
Our products are designed to help spread awareness about mental health disorders by educating the public.
Studies by Mental Health & Clinical Psychology show that training and educating students about mental health enabled students to learn and understand issues with mental illness. It showcased a direct impact on the educational experience on student attitudes toward mental health.
