Canadian wellness brand, Listen B*tch launches a series of daring billboards across Toronto this season to help uplift people struggling with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which 15% of Canadians will experience in their lifetime.
These head-turning billboards will feature bold affirmations such as: It might get dark at 4pm, but you have all the light you need inside you, and "If your SAD is starting to kick in then kick the hell out of it." The billboards are part of a mental health initiative aimed at raising awareness about SAD, which often starts in November, and is the brands unconventional approach to supporting Torontonians and Canadians who are affected.
People typically associate this time of year with holiday cheer, but the reality is that a lot of Canadians are enduring intense mental health challenges as they battle seasonal affective disorder and holiday stress, says Listen B*tch co-founder, Daniela Angelucci. And we know that these billboards arent a cure, but were hoping to give people the extra boost they may need to get through the day and help them realize that theyre not alone in this. As part of the initiative, Listen B*tch will be donating a portion of profits in November to the Toronto branch of The Canadian Center for Addiction & Mental Health.
Listen B*tch is a Canadian and women-owned brand of self-care and wellness tools that are designed to remind you who the f*ck you are. The brand, best known for their cheeky deck of affirmation cards, was co-founded by Canadian entrepreneurs Daniela Angelucci & Michelle Osei-Bonsu.
The 5 billboards, featuring various affirmations, will be posted across Toronto from October 30th, 2023 to December 30th, 2023 at the following locations:
Location: College St and Clinton St
