Every year in the UK, one in four adults and one in five children experiences a mental health issue, yet there is still an incredible amount of stigma, and a general reluctance to discuss the subject. Accounting for almost a quarter of the burden of disease in the UK, the annual cost of mental illness is estimated to be between £70-£100 billion. This takes into consideration health and social care, human cost, and loss of output. At the beginning of the millennium, the World Health Organisation declared that there is "No health without mental health." That is OrangeMouth's focus, not mental illness, but mental health. OrangeMouth is here to help and encourage people to be proactive about their mental health and wellbeing through our Apparel, Mental Break Spaces, and various projects.
