How Hiya is helping people live better

How Hiya is helping people live better

Mental illness is becoming increasingly common among teenagers throughout the United States and globally. Recent studies indicate that approximately one in five teens between ages 12 and 18 suffer from at least one diagnosable mental health disorder.

Depression, anxiety, and behavioral disorders are among the leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents. Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among 15-29 year-olds. The consequences of failing to address adolescent mental health conditions extend to adulthood, impairing both physical and psychological health and limiting opportunities to lead fulfilling lives as adults.

At Hiya, we believe that teens (and all people regardless of age), when given the right tools, can change the world -- but that change starts within. That is why Hiya helps teens empower others around mental health, depression, and suicide awareness.

All items sold at Hiya are centered around mental health awareness and prevention, promote self-care and kindness, and encourage people to build resilience for managing difficult situations by encouraging them to seek coping techniques and help.
