TIACS provides free mental health counselling for tradies, truckies, farmers, rural, and blue collar workers, and the people that love them. Just text or call 0488 846 988.

3: You wear your workshirt on site.

By wearing your TradeMutt shirt to work, you're sending a message that you're making the invisible issue of tradie mental health impossible to ignore.

4: Your shirt starts conversations.

The peer-to-peer effect of conversation starting TradeMutt workwear is bringing down social and cultural barriers that stop tradies from talking about how they're really doing.

5: Have a chat, lift the pocket flap, scan the QR code

Lifting the pocket flap on your workshirt (pictured) and scanning that code gives you or whoever you're talking to access to TIACS right away and it means you don't need all the answers.

6: Access TIACS for free.

That's what TIACS is there for. Hard questions, tough conversations, open and honest yarns about what's going on that's getting to you that you can't talk to your mates about.

7: Tell ya mates about it.

The more people talk to their mates about TIACS, the more people use the service, and the more tradies we can help.

"The perfect shirt! Yet another perfect shirt from TradeMutt! Fits perfectly, same large roomy pockets, brilliant design that has already been commented on by a number of people, enabling me to start several mental health conversations. As someone who has had more than my share of mental health demons in the past, it has been my daily wearing of TradeMutt shirts over the last 18 months which has led me to initiate mental health conversations with strangers, something that I was not previously open enough or brave enough to do. I am so pleased that I discovered TradeMutt!! (and the shirts are clearly quality manufactured, as even my first TradeMutt shirt is still in perfect condition after being worn so many times!"
