FREE HUGS GLOBAL INITIATIVE SHIRT
Our merchandise is intended to start conversations about TraumaAWAREness and suicide prevention and these very important human experiences through a hope-based lens.
Our society has trained people to react out of fear rather than through hope, inspiration, and listening without judgement or criticism.
Reaction = Pattern
Responding = Freedom

OUR MISSION
AWARE has gone global with its mission of sending hugs across the globe. We want people to know they are loved and to love others. Trauma is real and recovery is probable. Save a friend, hold space, spread awareness, and connect with others.
Join our team in spreading awareness. Humans need love right now. Communities are hurting and we all need to spread awareness that it is possible to heal.
Join our mission by receiving a big hug from the team at AWARE, and join our efforts to spread awareness about suicide prevention and TraumaAWAREness.

Did you know? AWARE is Helping Humans HEAL
20-Seconds Hug
When you receive a hug, your brain releases a chemical called oxytocin. This chemical is proven to reduce inflammation in the body, slow your heart rate, lower your blood pressure, and improve your mood.
Hugging for longer than 20 seconds gives your body enough time for your brain to release this chemical. The more often your brain releases this chemical and practices using it, the easier it'll be to handle stress in the future.

"I can't even explain the joy I get when someone holds their arms out for a "FREE HUG". I wear my shirt and people on the street stop me for a free hug and we both walk away smiling. What's better than that?"
