Tell Your Sister! - Mental Health Awareness Apparel - Start the Conversation Shirt
Our brother, Christopher William LaCourciere died by suicide on May 29, 2024. He proudly founded Vintage American Woodworks to showcase the timeless furniture that he finely crafted by hand. We created Vintage American Creativeworks as a way to keep his vision and spirit alive.
The World Health Organization's triennial theme for World Prevention Day for 2024-2026 is "Changing the narrative on Suicide" with the call to action "Start the Conversation". This theme aims to raise awareness about the importance of reducing stigma and encouraging open conversations to prevent suicides. Changing the narrative on suicide is about transforming how we perceive this complex issue and shifting from a culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, understanding, and support.
The call to action encourages everyone to start the conversation on suicide and suicide prevention. Every conversation, no matter how small, contributes to a supportive and understanding society. By initiating these vital conversations, we can break down barriers, raise awareness, and create better cultures of support.
December and I would like to take this theme a step further by adding "Tell Your SIster!". If Chris would have told his sisters we could have helped support him but he never gave us a chance. We realize that not everyone has a sister but we encourage anyone struggling to find a sister and tell them - it doesn't have to be your own sister, any sister will do.
This shirt features the reminder to Tell Your Sister! and we added the suicide & crisis lifeline 988 and his sisters grief .com to the sleeves to bring awareness and support others struggling with their mental health.
Chris kept his mental health struggles to himself and our mission is to bring awareness to men that it is okay to not be okay - tell your sister. If Chris would have told his sisters we could have helped support him but he never gave us a chance. We realize that not everyone has a sister but we encourage anyone struggling to find a sister and tell them - it doesn't have to be your own sister, any sister will do.
11% of every purchase made from Vintage American Creativeworks will be donated to organizations dedicated to supporting men with their mental health struggles. Our goal is to support all men, with an emphasis on men in the construction/trades industries. Our ultimate goal is to create our own non-profit organization dedicated to providing resources to men who don't know where to go or don't have the financial resources to pay for help.
Why 11%? Because Chris decided to hang himself at Lifeguard tower 11 on Carolina Beach. We don't know why he chose tower 11 but it seems fitting to donate 11% in his name.
Thank you for looking and reading our story. With your support we hope to save more sisters from ever having to endure the loss of their brother by suicide.
