Healist Releases Special Edition Gummies For World Mental Health Day

According to the National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI), one in five Americans experiences some variation of mental illness. Time was that things like depression were belittled or perceived as a character flaw or weakness, but things have generally moved in a more positive direction, thankfully.

However, there's still a long way to go in removing the stigma surrounding mental health, especially among minority communities and marginalized groups where taboos persist and access to treatment is difficult.

Healist Advanced Naturals, a CBD and hemp wellness brand, decided to use this year’s World Mental Health Day (October 10th) to release two specially packaged gummy supplements to inspire more people to prioritize their mental and physical health. One bottle features Anthony Burrill’s signature typographic design and work by artist Luciano Cian on the other, both on the theme of “defend wellness.” The idea of community and supporting one another is also evident. Cian’s painting is a panel of different people on one side and two people touching fingertips on the other. Meanwhile, Burrill’s use of type is a bold reminder that we are not alone in this world.

Additionally, Healist is matching a $5 donation for every order placed on healistnaturals.com in October, supporting NAMI as the organization’s stigma-free partner.
