Herman's Hands is a Mental Health Awareness and Suicide Prevention Clothing Brand.
Who was Herman?
By using clothing as a vehicle for awareness spreading
we can Create Dialogue and Inspire Change.
Herman was my old man. He ended his own life in 2007 and I found his body. I was 15.
My name is Brendan McDonnell and I've shared my experiences in explicit detail on my blog: www.brendanmcdonnell.com
Herman was a Tattoo Artist for over 20 years.
He suffered from Mental Illness and took his own life in 2007.
Breaking down the macho-Aussie-male culture that not only stands in the way of removing, but contributes to the stigma surrounding mental health in Australia.
OVERCOME.
Herman’s Hands raises awareness and money for
mental health and suicide prevention in Australia.
