Thank you all for your responses:

Okami: I think that is a lovely idea. I like the idea of doing something unique because there are some bracelets and wristbands out there. I'm not sure I would be so talented though!

Sabrina and yellowted: The bracelets I was considering doing (although I do not have an exact design) wouldn't be an obvious reference to a mental health condition. Different physical and emotional conditions have different awareness colors, so the bracelets would simply be made of beads of that color. For example, self-injury is sometimes symbolized with the color orange. So for self-injury I would just make a bracelet with orange beads. It wouldn't say anything on it so it wouldn't be obvious that you are wearing it for this reason. Plus many people wear them in support of family or friends.
