#SPARKTHATCHAT

Our goal is to save lives and promote mental health well-being by creating opportunities and spaces that support open, vulnerable conversations, fostering connections and resilience among individuals in the community.

ALL PROFITS DONATED TO SUPPORT LONG-lasting MENTAL HEALTH WELLNESS.

Encouraging others to Spark That Chat can save a life immediately. To fuel our mission and create more awareness, we fundraise by selling our limited edition, Spark That Chat apparel collection available for the month of March, of which 100% of the profits are donated to the cause. We work alongside the mental health foundation of NZ with the aim to ultimately reduce suicide rates and help the wellbeing of our community.
