Have you seen our new kids\u2019 eyewear collection Planet CB by Coco and Breezy x Zenni<\/a>? A collaboration unlike any we\u2019ve done before, we created it to encourage conscious kids to break free from the norm and celebrate individuality, positivity, and self-expression. Each pair of Planet CB glasses is named with a positive affirmation to help kids feel good!<\/p>\n

As we developed this collection, we talked with Coco and Breezy and agreed it was important to support an organization that shares the same values as Planet CB. The mental health and well-being of children is something Coco + Breezy and Zenni are particularly passionate about. Together, we\u2019re donating a portion of proceeds from Planet CB purchases to the Child Mind Institute\u2019s Healthy Brain Network<\/a>. The funds donated will help ensure that youth of Black communities have greater access to mental health services and resources.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why Black Kids\u2019 Mental Health<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

As Black women who experienced systemic racism and bullying as kids, Coco and Breezy have made it their mission to support other Black children by working with the Child Mind Institute.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMental health was usually an unspoken subject as there is stigma in the Black community. With all of the trauma the Black community has endured, mental health should be at the forefront of the conversation and this needs to start with kids. For this reason, we are so excited to partner with the Child Mind Institute\u2019s Healthy Brain Network and bring more mental health resources to kids in Black communities.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

The Healthy Brain Network<\/h2>\n

The Healthy Brain Network\u2019s goal is to seek out biological markers of mental health disorders in what will be the largest-ever database on the developing brain. On a local level, the Healthy Brain Network has already enrolled 4,450+ children, who also receive diagnostic evaluations at no cost as part of the study. Their goal is to enroll 10,000 kids in total. On a global scale, the data collected will help scientists better understand mental health in children and improve diagnosis and treatment.<\/p>\n
