Proceeds from the purchase of this elephant help support our anti-stigma work.
When you display your blue elephant, you show that you care about the wellness of others and demonstrate that this is a safe place to talk about mental illness, without fear of being viewed differently.
When you see our little blue elephant, you know it’s a safe place to speak about any mental health issues you or your family may be having. You will be treated with respect and dignity and you will find the support and understanding from a friend who cares.
Shelly –
I have had my Blue Elephant for at least seven years. He has always sat proudly on the coffee table in the living room, that is until this past weekend. We got a puppy a week ago and two days ago he found my little Elephant and before I noticed that he had it he had chewed off the end of the trunk. I just ordered a new Elephant. I will obviously have to put it elsewhere but I will definitely put it where I can see it all the time. I find it reminds me of the video and that my mental illness is not a character flaw or a weakness nor are persons with mental illness more prone to violence or more dangerous than other people. These are very common beliefs, even my own husband believes that we are more dangerous than the general population! When someone picks up the Elephant and goes “aww, cute!” then reads the imprint I explain the concept of The Elephant In the Room Campaign. I receive mixed reactions. Some want to know more, some want to change the subject. Everyone needs an Elephant.
