ABOUT UPOW:

At UPOW, we know what it is like. Struggling with mental health is so difficult as a teenager. That's why I created UPOW. UPOW is a clothing brand that sells sweaters and sweatpants to raise money for youth mental health organization in Canada. We donate as much as possible of our profits to mental health organizations focused on helping teenagers who cannot afford mental health services. 

MEET THE FOUNDER:

Hi, my name is Shiloh Terner and I am the founder of UPOW (Upward and Onward).  I have seen mental illness manifest in my life and the people around me. I have seen the struggle, the pain, the uncertainty. It is so scary.  I do not want anyone else to feel how I and the people around me felt. I decided to take a stance, and do my part. That is why I created  UPOW, a project and clothing brand focused on providing mental health services to children and teens in Canada. Through UPOW, if I can help even one child in Canada, knowing that they do not have to go through what I have, I know I have done a good job. I hope that UPOW inspires you help children in Canada, and maybe even buy a sweater :)
