headspace x The LAROI Foundation
We're proud to be partners with The LAROI Foundation, working towards our shared vision that young people across Australia are mentally healthy and engaged in their communities.
Together, we're creating spaces and opportunities for young people to express themselves, develop artistically and connect to mental health supports whilst addressing stigma and normalising conversations around mental health.
We've launched our partnership with an official headspace x The LAROI Foundation t-shirt. Check out the video below to see how it came together.
Our merch collaboration
To launch our partnership, we've collaborated on a limited edition, co-branded t-shirt which will be available to purchase online and at The Kid LAROI's November 2024 Australian tour. In addition to raising funds for mental health initiatives, we have used this collaboration as an opportunity to celebrate, support and provide a platform to emerging young artists.
Following a nation-wide call-out, the t-shirt was designed by young artists Ashley, Jay, Siena and Saffy with support from a leading artist mentor. Across a two-day workshop, the artists explored themes of community, self-care and positive uplifting messages as a group, before translating these concepts into the final t-shirt artwork.
What's next for our partnership?
We're continuing to work with The LAROI Foundation on arts and music projects that support the mental health of young people. These projects will aim to encourage conversations around mental health, demonstrate how creative expression can support mental health, and break down barriers to help-seeking
Our long-term goal is to work with headspace centres and other community organisations to pilot a mental health-focussed music and arts program.
