Selfhelp Online Brand Toolkit

Every one of us is an ambassador for Selfhelp in the community.

This toolkit will give you the tools you need to create materials that reinforce the strength and legacy of Selfhelp.

Our visual identity – our logo, fonts, colors, and overall style – is how our audiences know and recognize Selfhelp. It is important to use consistent elements of our identity in order to build trust, strengthen our reputation with our community, and convey our professionalism.
