What is Caring With Integrity?
Caring With Integrity is a project by Integrity Initiative that delivers thoughtfully curated care packages to people experiencing mental health challenges.
Care packages are co-designed with the specific organisation to which they are being delivered, depending on the specific safety requirements and the needs of the people using that service. They contain material basics - such as toiletries, clothing, skincare items, fidget toys and more combined with resources that inform people of what their rights are and how to advocate for these rights. Alongside this, they contain items of hope such as hand-stitched hearts, thanks to our partner 1000 Hearts.
Another branch of Caring With Integrity is developing and creating resources (such as toolkits, brochures, flyers and fact sheets) to explore the role of compassion in mental health care. These will be delivered to clinical staff at the services that we are working with via ‘practitioner packets’.
Current deliveries confirmed

Pilot packages - October 10, 2025
On the 10th October 2025, we launched our first round of care packages through a public youth mental health ward.
We delivered 100 care packages, which were first handed out on International Mental Health Day (October 10th) and are currently being distributed until they last. We estimate these packs lasting around three months!.
This marked a significant milestone. One in which Caring With Integrity became public and real.
What started as an idea has started to actualise. These packs are going to real people, making a real difference... and all without a dollar of funding and whilst facing endless and seemingly insurmountable barriers.
That said, we cannot continue this program without donations, ongoing generosity, and feedback.
