Mission
Got U Apparel Co. was created to bring awareness to mental health and encouraging recovery. At times life can be challenging, but it's about how we cope with and grow from the situations we face. As someone who has struggled, I wanted to help change the stigma of mental health and offer a message of support along the way. It is a path, not a final destination and our journey can hep us reach our fullest potential.
Never second-guess yourself!
Hello, my name is Juan Tirado and I am the owner of Got U Apparel Co. I am a Husband, a Father and a former Police Officer. While I was working in Law Enforcement, I witnessed a number of traumatic events.In addition, I also had some trauma to overcome in my personal life.I had no tools on how to cope with this level of significant stress or manage my feelings, at work or in life in general.With time, it began to affect me, and eventually I was diagnosed with PTSD. Fortunately, I was able to get resources that helped me to manage my physical,mental, and emotional health. I made a lot of changes and worked very hard, but with dedication and ongoing commitment I was able to heal.One thing that helped me to stay focused in my recovery was positive affirmations. I wanted to share these with others, with the intention that they might also find some comfort in these words of hope, support, and encouragement. This is why I created Got U Apparel Co., as a reminder that whoever you are and wherever you may be on your life’s journey, you are not in this fight alone. This brand is free of labels and without stigma;designed to be inclusive, positive and serve as a form of unified support, wherever it is needed.
