I came across this today...
http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/840339-...-health-issues ...a German toymaker has made and sells toys which he advertises to have mental health issues. I don't really know what to make of it, but I thought I'd post a link here in case anyone was curious/had a view on it...

They're kind of cute, at first I didn't know what to think, but I read the article and I do like what they have done. xD I almost feel like buying a few for some friends...

There is also a very cute game involving these animals on the toymakers website.
http://www.parapluesch.de/ it starts when you hit spiel. I recommend it although it could trigger I suppose. |

they are sweet and will definitely raise awareness of mental health issues, they appeal on all levels, as a cute cuddly toy for children, girlfriends etc, as an understanding token of friendship for those with the same dxs as the toys and as a starting point for the reserved beginner in therapy! so overall a good idea, i wish the maker luck, more things like this he better afterall, ethnic acceptance came about with the introduction of ethnic toys among other things!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
