1 in 5 children and adolescents in the
U.S. suffer from mental health.
We want to raise awareness so we can come together and lower that statistic.
Our Aware team partnered with artist, Domingo Zapata, to create a panda symbol that represented child and adolescent mental health awareness. Our goal is to integrate the panda symbol into organizations around the world to shed light on the powerful meaning behind it.
We provide collaboration and partnership opportunities for brands to make a difference along with us. A percentage of profits of each licensed purchase of Aware’s product line will go towards our mental health awareness mission.

Panda
The Panda:
Represents strength, compassion and self-esteem. The strength of a panda symbolizes the willpower that is necessary for emotional mental health.
Compassion:
We as a society need to demonstrate the compassion that is necessary to help children with mental illnesses.
Open arms:
We as a society need to embrace this unrecognized epidemic of mental illness in our children. To fully embrace this epidemic, we need first to open our arms.
The Crown:
Allowing our children to rule their majestic destiny.
The Smile:
Represents the defeat and hope for a child’s happiness. Children are our future.
Panda describes individuality, growth
and mental wellbeing.
