About Da Silly Heads

To externalize our experiences through poor mental health, we created cartoon characters, aka Silly Heads, each depicting a specific mental health condition. These are sketched and animated into quirky, tongue-in-cheek but real-life situations to express our journey through mental illness. This is how the whole project began, as we felt it is about time to discard the labels that we have lived with and experienced.

We design and deliver clothing with purpose or as we like to call it, Advocacy Apparel. The products are vital in our quest to promote visual mental health advocacy across communities. The products also give a subtle nod to our Silly Heads through colour. This allows the user to not only convey their mental health support as a whole, but also express their advocacy or empathy with individuals experiencing a particular condition, should they wish to do so.

The movement we are passionate about creating is led very visibly by us, the founders. Our unique workshops/seminars aimed at students, parents, professionals, and communities is designed to connect with our advocates on a more personal level. This allows for greater interaction with the people who matter most, families, friends and colleagues. In addition, our service links wellbeing providers, mental health professionals, charities and respective peer groups in promoting mental health advocacy in their own communities.
