This article discusses the movement Naim Jutha has started in November 2016 entirely inspired by mental health awareness.
With Mental Illness becoming more and more prevalent in today’s youth (more specifically un-diagnosed/ignored mental illness) Naim shares his company’s story and message which could encourage the community, to look for signs, and to take care of mental health.

Naim Jutha looks and sounds older than his twenty-four years. Composed and soft-spoken, the Canadian designer and entrepreneur speaks in a way that allows his vision to unfold before his listener wholly and concretely. His quiet enthusiasm is more than a personality trait, but a powerful skill; it is subtle, yet easily infectious, and most importantly, mobilizing. Ask any entrepreneurial mind and I’m sure they’ll tell you, inspiring people to action is often the trickiest aspect to starting a business, but it’s something Naim appears to do with ease.
I often divide the world into “thinkers” and “doers,” though I realize that a small portion of the population can humble-braggedly refer to themselves as both. I myself, can be found firmly, exclusively in the former category. Though it is not without its advantages, being a thinker means that you’re often derailed by your own contemplations, leaving you feeling inert and incapable. The word “overthinking” doesn’t do it justice: the constant, insufferable motion of your brain as it races through every possible path, obstacle, outcome (and the subsequent reactions and solutions they elicit) is not simply excess, it is gluttony to the nth degree; to the point of mental exhaustion and beyond.
But, in typical thinker fashion; I digress. The point I wish to make is that Naim is so obviously a doer, at least to me, and a charismatic one at that. When he describes his clothing company NVSN (which stands for Nature versus Nurture), he immediately launches into the company’s goals. Though they are numerous and ambitious, each goal, when coming out of Naim’s mouth, feels very attainable.
