Harry's Inc.’s Post

Happy Pride from Harry’s! This June, we’re teaming up with our friends at The Trevor Project, the leading organization working to end suicide among LGBTQ+ youth, for a month of storytelling and learning around mental health. Each week on our Instagram, we'll be sharing personal letters written by people to their younger selves, as well as helpful insights and care resources. As part of our longtime support of The Trevor Project, we’re donating $400,000 in 2024, bringing our total contribution to more than $2.1 million to date. This fuels our year-round partnership, which helps organization continue to expand and improve crisis services, as well as grow awareness among marginalized communities. Together over the last 5 years, we’ve been able to connect nearly 1 million LGBTQ+ youth to life saving care. Be sure to to follow Harry’s Instagram to watch the campaign unfold and check out the first “Story Spotlight” post, which went live today! https://lnkd.in/ePebRwpt

Very excited to share that Harry’s is a winner of Engage for Good's 2024 Halo Awards, which recognizes the best campaigns in corporate social impact! We were awarded Silver in the Mental Health Category for our work on Team: Changing Minds, in collaboration Futures Without Violence, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, and the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. With $5 million in funding from Harry’s and a vision to change the way mental health is offered to young men and boys, Team: Changing Minds has now become the largest youth mental health program in the country. In just their first year of operation, the program trained over 20K mental health responders and connected over 500K young people to adults ready to offer support. Huge thank you to Engage for Good for this recognition, and to our partners at Futures Without Violence, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, and the National Council for Mental Wellbeing their incredible work and ongoing partnership.

We got a head start on #NationalVolunteeringWeek with our very own 3rd annual See the Person, Serve the People Week of Global Service! We worked alongside amazing organizations like The Trevor Project, Hudson River Park Trust, Gladys Love Project, and The Door - A Center of Alternatives, donating 600+ hours of our team’s time to making an impact in the communities we live and work in. This was our biggest year yet! To name a few highlights: we researched suicide-prevention policies across dozens of schools to support LGBTQ youth advocacy, pulled dozens of bags of invasive plants from our park ecosystems, wrote hundreds of letters to elders reminding them they are appreciated, and assembled 1.2k razor-care packages.

Shout out to our team (Nate Lewellyn, Multazem Oliver, Peter Pranata) for taking the time to talk with Built In NYC about two topics near and dear to our hearts: ERG's and DEI. Take a read here!

As part of Harry’s social mission, we’ve been working towards a goal to bring quality mental health care to 1.5 million men by 2024. We’re excited to share that thanks to our incredible nonprofit partners, team, and customers we’ve been able to surpass our target and reach over 2 million men to date. To celebrate this milestone and show our appreciation for our community, we took to Instagram to share some of the biggest takeaways on mental health that we’ve gathered over the years, plus some helpful resources from our partners.
