Gifts that give back!

It's that time again for "Gifts that Give Back". May is mental health awareness month and 1/4 American adults experience some form of mental illness in a given year (NAMI). What a great way to help those struggling with the difficulties and negative stigma sometimes associated with mental illness than to promote art therapy. Buy a pretty charm bracelet and all the proceeds go to Broken Light Collective, a photo sharing outlet for those living with mental illness c/o Danielle Stevens Jewelery.
