AWOL - "You are Worthy" tee

Introducing our "You are worthy" tee called "AWOL". We're bringing back our Mental Health apparel in full force as we strive to raise Mental health awareness and encourage people to redefine the way people view and validate themselves. 100% of the profits fund our Nevertheless Charity enabling us to fund free programmes that promote creativity as a healthy way of expression and coping mechanism.

FRONT: Intentionally reversed design with the words "You are worthy". Written backwards to encourage the wearer to look in the mirror, read the words and validate themselves.
BACK: Features the name of this line - "AWOL". AWOL traditionally stands for Absent Without Leave. It's a military term used when someone is not present at their post or duty without official permission.

In this context AWOL to us means "ALWAYS WORTHY OF LOVE". We want people to know that YOU ARE WORTHY OF LOVE. Isolation is not independence. The opposite to depression is connection.
"New Zealand’s 2023/24 suicide rate was 11.2 per 100,000; Māori and Pasifika rates remain disproportionately high, especially among youth"
It’s more important than ever to remind each other we’re worthy—because silence is loud, disconnection is common, and too many of us disappear inward before anyone notices. AWOL isn’t just about absence—it’s a call to return to yourself, your people, your purpose.
