Traditionally, sick days have been allocated for physical ailments—a tangible measure of one's inability to perform work duties.
However, as our understanding of health evolves, it becomes clear that mental health is just as crucial as physical health. Mental health conditions, including stress, anxiety, and depression, can significantly impair an individual's ability to function at their best.
Recognizing mental health days as sick days is a step toward acknowledging the comprehensive nature of health.

With the drop of barriers hindering mental health discussions, millions of people will acquire the immediate courage to deal with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or any other mental health issues that they may face.
The ultimate aim is to ensure everyone in the society is mentally stable and healthy at all times.

"Also absolutely love the fact that a portion of cost goes to mental health charities. "
Love this bag - so bright and cheerful and a great 'in between' size. Already had compliments on it. Also absolutely love the fact that a portion of cost goes to mental health charities. My only criticism would be how open it is - a zip closure would make it more secure.
