Now You Know Cards

Every one of us struggles with something yet too often we struggle alone. Connected more than ever before, but more isolated. Connect with someone by sharing your struggle.

Now You Know cards allow you to easily hand someone basic information about your health or mental health conditions–what is helpful and what is NOT. We, of course, encourage verbal dialog when possible, but written cards can play a role to bridge separation. People become more sensitive and understanding once they are in the know.

Want to Bridge the Disconnect? Here’s How to Take Action:
