MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS
The Best Way Through Starts With You
ABOUT THE BEST WAY THROUGH
A MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
On World Mental Health Day, we launched The Best Way Through — a mental health awareness campaign inspired by Robert Frost’s famous quote: The best way out is always through.
It’s part art drop, part YouTube series, and part spotlight on the life-saving work being done by crisis mental health hotlines.
Art Drop
Dirty Donny
We teamed up with legendary lowbrow artist Dirty Donny — the creative force behind iconic work for Metallica, Fender, Vans, Stern Pinball, and more.
Prints and T-shirts
Donny created an exclusive original just for us. We turned it into 100 gallery-quality prints — each one signed and numbered by Donny himself.
We also made 500 tees.
And here’s the best part — these instant collectibles aren’t for sale… we’re giving them away.
Giveaway
Art Contest
What does “The Best Way Through” mean to you? We want to see it — in your style, your voice, your way.
From October 10 – December 20, share your vision through:
- Up to a 30 second video
- A drawing, painting, watercolor, or digital art
- A photograph
- A written piece (100 words or less)
- Or some other artistic form of expression
THE BEST WAY OUT IS ALWAYS THROUGH
- Robert Frost
YOUTUBE SERIES
Wellness on Screen
What if your favorite shows could teach you about mental health? Each week, Toby (a licensed therapist) and guests break down key scenes from movies and TV to reveal the psychology, emotions, and life lessons hidden beneath the drama.
In season one, we explore the psychology of Ted Lasso, The Bear, Inside Out 2, Sherlock Holmes, The Avengers Thunderbolts and more. We drop one episode a week.
Giveaway
Spotlight on Crisis Hotlines
Dirty Donny included the contact info for 7 hotlines inside his exclusive design — so the message is built right into the art.
To boost their mission further, Redwood is donating signed prints and limited-edition tees to each featured hotline so they can auction them off and raise much-needed funds.
Each nonprofit on our list is making a real difference for someone right now. If you’re able, please use the links below to make a donation directly to one or more:
