Making an invisible issue impossible to ignore, TradeMutt is known around Australia for their loud, vibrant work shirts which were designed to start conversations about mental health,
A social impact workwear company, TradeMutt takes a more light-hearted and approachable angle to the conversation. Existing to drive the much needed social and cultural shift in attitude towards mental health among tradies, truckies, farmers, rural and blue-collar workers.
In the past 5 years they’ve grown into a well-recognised and established social impact workwear brand. After launching their conversation starting workwear, they saw how the funky workwear was helping to start important conversations about mental health.
What they soon came to learn is that starting the conversation sometimes means that you need to continue that conversation with a professional. A professional that you can trust and relate to; is not going to charge you through the nose; wait months until you can connect with them or have to hoop jump for a referral and if you manage to get through all that to be told there’s actually no one available in your location.
TIACS was born through the realisation that there were way too many barriers to free mental health support for the blue-collar community. Operating since 2020, TIACS provides a professional text and call service with qualified counsellors for free.
