February is a monumental month for Lucid Laces and our campaign to raise awareness around mental health education and suicide prevention. In 2023, we launched our After the Storm reflective roller skate laces where 100% proceeds go to Hope for the Day to spread their message that “it’s ok not to be ok.” We've raised $2120 since then with your help!
This month, we are starting our 3rd year socializing our commitment to discussing challenging yet hefty and important topics with our skate community in the hopes of spreading awareness and support within our skate community.
While mental health topics may be seen as sticky subjects and can create discomfort, we encourage you to join us in leaning in on those feelings, being curious and open to discussing with those you trust.
This is why we, at Lucid Laces, emphasize the importance in discussing these topics around mental health in the hopes of planting a seed of curiosity to continue the conversation with each other, to seek support or even to support someone else.
If any of this resonates with you and you are curious for more, stay tuned for our next blog post where we deep dive into Angelique and Drella's ideas around self-care, reflecting on lessons they've learned along the way and some suggestions that have helped them.
Stay Lucid <3
