We have created the It's OKAY Project LTD to help others discuss their mental health experiences through creative responses. We have formed a Zine (a magazine without the maga) to present these creative responses of mental health struggles and achievements in aid to help raise awareness and open up the topic for discussion. Our Zine's are sold for five pounds and 20% of each sales goes to PAPYRUS UK through our Just Giving account. We decided to put together the project after losing loved ones through suicide and long personal battles with mental illness.
Zine available on www.itsokayproject.com @itsokayproj
