Welcome!

I am quite new to blogs and having just started the TEAM REB project I thought it would only be logical to start writing about the goings on and other related topics to the business and mental health. The TEAM REB project, talking and encouraging awareness of mental health was set up July 2014. The primary aim of TEAM REB is to help raise awareness of mental health problems. 1 in 4 of us will suffer with a mental health problem this year, that statistic is terrifying. Having being diagnosed myself with depression and anxiety I understand the difficulties related to this topic, which makes me want to do something to ensure everyone else that experiences a mental illness gets the help and support they deserve. The focus of the project is improving awareness whether its through creating products or offering information, advice and guidance to anyone needing it.

The products we hope to start producing will include a clothing line and various accessories. The products will include the TEAM REB logo design and some diverse and inspiring quotes. We already have wristbands available to give out (see facebook page)! The TEAM REB logo includes two wolves, which I will explain why; whilst searching the web we came across an old Cherokee tale..  -One evening, a grandfather told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said “my son, the battle is between two ‘wolves’ inside us all.

One is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: ”which wolf wins?…” the grandfather simply replied, 

”the one that you feed.”

And so that is why we decided on two wolves!

Thank you to very one that has supported the page so far. It’s still in its early days so make sure you stay tuned!

Much love,

Rebecca.
