Introduction to Better Together Tees.

In early 2018, the Battlefords faced eight suicides in seven weeks. The losses deeply impacted our community and connected the hearts of Allysa and Deb. Together, they healed by creating the Better Together T-shirt Project. Their vision was to connect generations by having them wear and share the message "We truly are Better Together. Connected communities are healthy communities." Community members wore Better Together t-shirts looking for logo matches on Tuesdays. The project began with 300 students and seniors and has expanded to over 38,000 shirts worn across the country. The outcomes of these connections are: mutual understanding, improved feelings of well-being, decreased loneliness, satisfaction from sharing knowledge and experience, and enhanced social cohesion.
