The collaboration between Supré and Headspace - the national youth mental health organisation - aims to help teenage girls recognise different types of bullying behaviour and encourage them to recognise the impact bullying has on their peers.
The store has stocked Supré Foundation products, including bottled water, nail files and mints, with 100 per cent of the proceeds going to the partnership.
Dubbo store manager Alison Hills said Supré staff were happy to support such a great cause.
“It’s a great feeling to know we are playing a part in our store to help shift negative behaviour among girls and highlight that bullying is so not OK. By raising awareness and support for the Supré Foundation we know we can help make a change,“ she said.
“Being one of the smaller Supré stores we’ve had fantastic customer support with selling our charity items, when compared to some of the other metropolitan stores.”
Supré general manager, Elle Roseby said as a fashion destination for teens, staff at Supré could talk directly to their young customers.
“Bullying is an issue that affects our girls and it is an important issue to us,” she said.
“Our team is passionate about supporting this cause, and with the help of Headspace, we have the power to create meaningful change.”
Headspace chief executive officer, Chris Tanti said the organisation had seen first-hand the effect bullying could have on young people.
“Teaming up with Supré gives Headspace a unique opportunity to talk to young women in an environment they feel comfortable in and in a language that makes sense to them,” he said.
