Always Keep Fighting and the SPN Family Crisis Support Network

[Death]

A year ago Jared launched the first Always Keep Fighting campaign as a way to show his support for charities that help deal with mental health. This was following his own admission that he himself has mental health problems. Now a year on and he has his 5th campaign and it is also supporting Misha's charity Random Acts, which has partnered with other charities to launch the SPN Family Crisis Support Network. Both campaigns are aimed to help people that suffer from mental illnesses, to support them and give them resources so they can help themselves.

The #SPNFamily Crisis Support Network is a community support system that helps fans cope with mental health issues such as depression, self-injury, and addiction.

We are raising funds to develop this online community platform. The platform will provide:

1. Training for fan volunteers who wish to be crisis responders in their spare time,
2. Immediate access to support lifelines for fans in crisis, and
3. Local community resources for those needing additional support or information.

We are developing this platform to work in tandem and partnership with two amazing nonprofits, IMAlive and TWLOHA.

That's really cool. It is nice to see people donating time and effort to causes, not just signing a check or taking a picture.

 

[Lucifer]

That's awesome! Inspiring guys, seem like such nice people.

I am a big fan of the work they are doing. I love the designs too, but mishas gishwhes shirts can be silly!

This latest campaign has now finished and he sold 39,000 shirts!

I love this gishwhes shirts! I'm glad that they do a bigger choice of them now too.

Al the shirts are limited edition though and sadly you find that they have been copied and sites are selling them afterwards without doing anything for charity so copying the image for their own gain.

 

[SwanSong]

Yeah, I had wondered if their would be a bunch to make a quick buck off charitable faces. I guess the only way to stop this is to encourage fans to go for official only.

I packed my "Family dont end in blood" bobby shirt, "Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole" shirt and twloha shirt today. They are moving to new home in a walk in robe, the kind of storage they deserve, rather than the Jim Beam chair in the corner!

Yeah teechip is one of the worst offenders for it, several of the actors have posted either on their own pages or on teechip about how they are copying charity shirts for profit illegally.

There's a new t shirt campaign Jared Padalecki's "I Am Enough" Campaign | Represent

"I AM ENOUGH! And so are YOU.

In addition to finding charities that support the fight against depression, self harm and suicide a portion of the proceeds of the Rainbow tee will be donated to OneOrlando and Equality Florida's Pulse Victims Fund." --Jared

I've been watching a fair few of their videos linked to this stuff, its great.

I get ragey at times and there is always something about to help through fandoms. The boys have a great balance of compassion but brotherly teasing.

In 2017, Random Acts is partnering with the Pop Culture Hero Coalition and a team of psychologists and psychiatrists to create training programs for those who are affected by cyberbullying. The Pop Culture Hero Coalition is a nonprofit that works to end bullying. They use stories from TV, film, and comics to make a stand for real-life heroism over bullying, racism, misogyny, LGBTQ-bullying, cyberbullying, and other forms of hate.

Also another t shirt campaign.
