Crazy Aaron’s is throwing its support behind Mental Health Awareness Month.

The company is donating special edition Thinking Putty Care Packages to therapists’ offices and mental health nonprofit organizations throughout its local community in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.

“Supporting mental health is the human equivalent to supporting infrastructure like roads and bridges. Without it, human potential is limited. With a solid foundation, your potential is infinite,” says Crazy Aaron’s Founder and Executive Chairman Aaron Muderick.

Over the years, Thinking Putty has become known as a useful, calming tool for individuals of all ages that are battling anxiety and stress.

“Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty has been a wonderful tool for our clients, particularly those who struggle with inattention, hyperactivity, or anxiety,” says Jenna Giagnacova, MS, LPC, Conshohocken Counseling Services. “I even have clients who will bring their own Thinking Putty to my office because they know that having something to fidget with or to physically focus on will help them concentrate better and stay mentally present. One great thing about Thinking Putty over some other fidget toys is that it is a silent support, which means it creates less of a distraction to our work.”

In recent years, Crazy Aaron’s has launched several efforts to do social good, including the production of hand sanitizer during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and, most recently, a contribution to supporting humanitarian aid in Ukraine.
