Seattle Fashion Week New Partnership Gives Mental Health a Boost.

Mental Health and Fashion.
What do they have to do with each other? Over the decades studies have taken place to determine different correlations and/or causalities between creativity and mental disorders. While history shows us that many famous artists suffered from some form of mental disorder, we can look to the fashion designers of the last few decades and see this as well. And without treatment we know one of the terrible outcomes associated with mental disorders. Suffering through a mental illness without any direction or help can make you feel like you’re drowning. While they say tortured souls can create, but they also need compassion, love, help, support and at times treatment. Those things are vital, but they take finances and when it comes to non-profits such as Seattle Children’s Home that means donations.

Seattle Fashion Week recently announced that they would do just that by choosing to partnered with Seattle Children’s Home.  Started in 1884, SCH is a non-profit that helps children and teens facing mental health issues offering both outpatient and inpatient services including consultations, therapy, behavioral support, medication management and other specially targeted programs. From quick phone counseling to in-patient treatment, SCH are helping address illnesses that is too often overlooked, ignored or looked down upon in our society.
