Where your $5 goes
$5 from every order goes to suicide prevention. Not "a portion". We post the donation receipt every month on our Giving page. We are a company, not a registered charity.
Hoodie and crewneck measurements. Tees run about 1 inch shorter. Relaxed unisex fit. Measure a piece you love lying flat and compare. Between sizes, or want it roomy? Size up. Exchanges are free.
If you have ever wondered whether the person next to you is okay, this is for you.
Most of us never say it out loud. The cashier, the guy behind you at the gas station, the friend who stopped texting back. This hoodie says it for you, all day, to everyone who walks behind you.
Spread Positivity
Featuring the heartwarming message, "Dear Person Behind Me, You Are Enough," this hoodie is a daily reminder that you are perfect just the way you are. Wear it to inspire others and create a ripple of positivity everywhere you go
Why one sentence matters
In 2023, 49,316 Americans died by suicide (CDC). Nobody can fix that with a hoodie. But a kind sentence, read at the right moment, can start the conversation that helps.
The numbers behind the message
23%
of US adults lived with a mental illness in 2021. That is roughly one in every five people standing behind you. (NIMH)
80%
of people who die by suicide in the US are men, the group least likely to ask for help. (CDC)
100%
of orders send $5 to suicide prevention, with receipts posted monthly. (Us)
Cards: for when a sentence is not enough.
Every box comes with 5 Conversation Cards to hand to anyone who tells you your back made their day. Each card lists the 988 Lifeline, and our free "How to check on someone" guide is always on our site.
Dear person reading this,
We started this company because a sentence on a stranger's back once said exactly what someone we love needed to hear, on a day they needed it.
We cannot promise that a hoodie changes anything. What we can promise is that we will run this company the way the message deserves: fabric that lasts, a donation you can check, and a refund that is actually a refund.
If you wear it, thank you. You are the person in front of someone today.
The person in front of you
The Behind You Co. team · Printed in the USA
Feel Good, Look Good
Our hoodie is crafted from premium, soft cotton blend fabric that ensures maximum comfort and warmth. Whether you’re lounging at home, running errands, or meeting up with friends, this hoodie keeps you cozy and stylish.
WHO ARE YOU WEARING IT FOR?
Everyone who buys it has a reason.
Pick the one that sounds like you. No pressure, no hype, just how people actually use it.
For the days you need it most
A reminder you can wear
1What's going on
For yourself, on the hard days
Some days the hardest person to be kind to is yourself.
2How the message helps
Say it without a speech
"You are enough" sits on your chest, where you will see it in every mirror. Not a fix. A small, steady reminder.
3How people wear it
Small, real, repeatable
Wear it on the days you would rather hide. Many people tell us those are exactly the days a stranger says something kind about the back.
When you do not know what to say
Wear one, give one
1What's going on
For the friend who went quiet
Someone you love stopped answering texts like they used to. You want to say something, but not the wrong thing.
2How the message helps
Say it without a speech
The You & Me pack lets you give them the message in a way that does not need a speech. The Conversation Cards and our free guide help with the words.
3How people wear it
Small, real, repeatable
Give it in person if you can. Then ask: "How are you, really?" and listen. If you are worried about their safety, call or text 988 together.
When the loss is personal
Carry their message forward
1What's going on
In memory of someone
You lost someone, and you wish more people had told them how much they mattered.
2How the message helps
Say it without a speech
Every time you walk through a crowd, you say it for them. To strangers, in line, at the store, on the train.
3How people wear it
Small, real, repeatable
Many families wear it together at walks and memorials. Ask us about team orders for your group.
When hundreds of people walk behind you
Nurses, teachers, coaches, crews
1What's going on
For the people you serve
You see more people in a day than most see in a week. Plenty of them are carrying something heavy.
2How the message helps
Say it without a speech
The back of your hoodie talks to every one of them without interrupting your work.
3How people wear it
Small, real, repeatable
Wear it on shift breaks, at school pickup, on the job site. Team and school orders start at 12 pieces.
So when I tell you I was rock bottom and someone was wearing this ordering a coffee in front of me. In that moment, I burst into tears. I needed that. So thank you. I urge you all to buy one 🙌🏾
Four different people approached me yesterday while wearing mine. All of them led to conversations about mental health and I felt really really proud to be wearing it. xxxxx
I love mine had it for couple of years now. I always get stopped when im in a queue at a shop or waiting go on the tram. I get tapped on the shoulder and told "what a lovely message on ur jumper" and 9 times out of 10 that person is teary eyed too xxx ❤️
I seen a person in Toronto recently wearing this and she was in line in front of me and I was reading the back of her shirt, I didn’t know what it was, but I read it. I was like well fuck that’s pretty damn nice now isn’t it? Now I know where she got it.
I choose random people on the street, the ones who look like they need a hug and I say "I've got a message for you" then I turn around so they can see the message. The smiles, comments and hugs I have gotten are priceless ❤
I bought one of this and wore it through Stanstead to go see my partner and a guy tapped me on the shoulder and said reading the message saved his life. Thank you for making these
Worn mine a few times already- best response I have had was at the Tramlines Festival - got stopped loads of times by people wanting to read it and got loads of support
I have one, my wife does too, people that know me see me as a hard board asshole, but wearing it had people coming up hugging me asking where I got it, thanking me for wearing it all sorts. I'm buying another so i can have them when needed...
Wore mine today for first time, one lad came up to me and said thankyou for making him smile, then in a shop a lady commented saying what beautiful words to read, she then asked me to hug her, happily obliged and she walked away smiling.
I’ve got 2 in different colours. I was stopped at a ferry port, by a customs officer whose brother had committed suicide. She bought one, she might buy more, she also needed to hear this
I wore mine to hospital yesterday n u could only see the front, cos I’m in wheelchair. A guy came up to me, hugged me n said I love this, thank u for wearing it. That brought tears to my eyes xxxx
I was walking behind someone wearing one of those hoodies. I overtook them, turned round, smiled, opened my arms and we hugged. Not a word was spoken. Then we just carried on our way. I will never forget that
