Peter Ritter and Matt Wellington from Pearl Coast Helicopters modelling their Conversation Starter Shirts made by TradeMutt.
TradeMutt is the product of a not-for-profit mental health support service, This Is A Conversation Starter (TIACS.org), and is most commonly identified by bright, loud workwear. The sale of TradeMutt shirts raises funds for TIACS.org, offering people free access to mental health services, so that financial barriers don’t prevent people from receiving much needed mental health support. The TradeMutt shirts are high-vis work shirts made up of various loud patterns and colours (such as the ones pictured, worn by the PCH fellas). They are designed to be a talking point or conversation starter, opening the lines of communication to talk about mental health.
Please, if you are struggling, talk to somebody, there is always someone to talk to if you reach out. There is no shame in mental health, no shame in feeling down, no shame in feeling a bit lost or lonely.
TALK TO SOMEONE.
If you don't feel you can talk to friends or family, there are always organisations like Lifeline to ring and talk with.
