CMHA HKPR Launches New Online Store Featuring Exclusive Band T-Shirt

Dec 8, 2025

The Canadian Mental Health Association Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (CMHA HKPR) is excited to announce the launch of its new online store, offering the public an opportunity to purchase customized CMHA HKPR clothing items. This initiative aims to promote mental health for all, foster knowledge, hope, and belonging, and help reduce stigma surrounding mental illness.

The store will debut with a single, exclusive item: a band t-shirt designed for The Reachers, CMHA HKPR’s own band comprised of individuals with lived experience of mental illness. The Reachers use music to champion mental health, recovery, and the vital role of the arts in overall well-being.

These limited-edition t-shirts are available now through the online store, with partial proceeds directly supporting the band. This makes the shirt not only a stylish statement but also a meaningful holiday gift that supports a great cause. In the coming months, the store will expand to include more shirts and designs, with proceeds from all sales supporting mental health services at CMHA HKPR.

This exciting new venture is made possible through a partnership with Ricart’s, a long-time sponsor and supporter of CMHA HKPR. Ricart’s sees this as another way to continue promoting mental health and wellness in our community.

“At Ricart’s, we believe mental health is just as important as physical health, and we’re proud to partner with CMHA HKPR on this initiative” says Matt D’Agostini, Lead Sales, Ricart’s. “Supporting mental wellness in our community has always been a priority for us, and this online store is a creative way to raise awareness while giving people a chance to show their support. We’re excited to help make this project a reality.”
