9Muses member and treasured volunteer Kathy Garcia has embarked on a special project. She has created jewelry specifically for men that experience mental health issues. The beads are handmade from decorative paper (gift wrapping, candy boxes etc.), rolled and sealed for durability and separated by colorful gems and shells. Necklaces were designed with men in mind, featuring color shades of gray and brown.

They are inspired by the National Institute of Mental Health in their effort to raise awareness and support for men that experience symptoms of mental illness. Visit the National Institute of Mental Health for more information.
