Heads Above The Waves

Heads Above The Waves We are a not-for-profit organisation that raises awareness of self-harm in young people, promoting creative and positive ways of dealing with the bad days.

Self-harm affects around 1 in 12 young people, yet it remains an issue people struggle to handle or understand. Heads Above The Waves is a not-for-profit organisation that raises awareness of self-harm in young people, promoting creative and positive ways of dealing with the bad days. We talk openly about self-harm and depression. We sell merch with a message behind the designs. We run workshops t

o give people the chance to find what works for them. We create content to let people know that hope and help exist. Why do we do it? Because we've been there ourselves, and we've come out the other side. You're not alone.

Our neighbourinos at are doing some wicked fundraising work all through June. I had to pick up one of the bubblegum milkshakes and some rocky road today. It rocks. Delicious ways to support our work. And a bunch of cool things going on, which will mean we’re able to create more free resources & continue to be here for folks who wanna pop in for a chat!

Big shoutout to everyone who took part in the 125 Challenge & helped raise money for HATW to continue to create & share free resources. Y’all are amazing (you even inspired me to go download Strava myself!) I hope the impact sticks with you and you continue to share openly about mental health & check in with the folks around you. And you’re always welcome to come hang with us in the shop 🫶 big love!

It’s been so lush getting to see your faces & have some great chats in the shop this week. To all you legends who came and supported us: THANK YOU.

I guess to be super transparent: it’s not the easiest time for retail right now. But because we’re more than just a clothing brand, the fact we’ve been able to be there to support folks who are struggling rn makes everything worth it.

So if you’ve had your eye on something, plz come support small businesses! And if you’ve picked up something from us recently (or ever!) just know it has SUCH a big impact. Big love!

Everyone should have a mental health action plan 👏
And look, I’m well aware of the irony that I should’ve posted this during mental health awareness week, where the theme was “action”, and my inaction means that it’s late, but hey. It’s good stuff all year round 🤝
