OUR STORY

In 2016 a vision came to light while a young mother was struggling with a young child who was diagnosed with a serious mental health illness.

 From 2007 to 2015 she was in a whirlwind and overwhelmed with her circumstances. This young mother often found a lack of support or empathy for her situation. She was limited in knowledge and resources to properly support her loved one. Most of her life she was surrounded by mental health illness in her family but never imagined her child would have to battle their own mental health struggles. 

So, while working in a small company as a mail clerk and deciding to figure out why and how she could best support her child 365hugs was formed as an idea only.

As this young mother became more involved and concerned about her child’s mental wellness, she was determined to take action and become that level of support she so desperately needed. 

By 2016 this young mother met more individuals and families just like her who had no idea of where to start or begin in their mental health journey.

They couldn’t locate resources; they didn’t have enough information on their diagnosis, or they just didn’t have the proper support system to understand what they were battling with.

She understood at this moment that she wanted to change how the world viewed mental health and put face to this uncomfortable topic that no one wanted to discuss.

365HUGS was officially founded in 2024 and has made a commitment to make impactful changes on how mental health is viewed and be a support for all those who seek assistance and understanding. Mental health is a “unknown” journey that has no restrictions on what families and individuals it affects.
