Intervention

Mental Health Awareness.

My first idea for this intervention is mental health awareness. On our campus as students, we tend to put our emotional and mental well being on the second place, behind our responsibilities and tasks, so I have thought of making small posters with mental health awareness.

There are times when we find ourselves so immersed in our responsibilities and tasks, things that greatly consume our thoughts and without realizing it we find ourselves in a state from which it is difficult to get out. In times like these it is important to be able to take a break and take care of ourselves. This is why these days I've been posting little memes around campus in the hopes that someone might see them, laugh for a moment, and maybe think about it.

I have decided to use memes because, as we know, they are widely used today to communicate, express emotions and concerns in a comical way in which we can all identify in some way and alleviate some of the pain and worry. Memes are also used to inform and raise awareness on various topics, whether political, social, or even cultural. Not only in a not only in a conventional comical way since youngest generation humor is different from others generations since they use absurdism and anti-humor.

"They reflect what's happening in society, and help justify feelings of rage and fear while helping us feel less alone." -Memes are our generation protest art. 

The use of pop culture and other trendy topics helps us attract attention more effectively and they are easy to understand , silly skeletons memes, pop culture, and mental health awareness are a good combination.

Within the campus we have resources such as the counseling center, support groups, meditation groups and other activities that will help us in difficult times. If for some reason it is difficult to access these services provided on the NJCU campus, we can also use online resources such as the crisis prevention and help number 988, which also has an assistance service through messaging. There are many more specific crisis hotlines. In addition, you can always go with a friend to relieve a little stress and anguish.

In the other hand, they can be seem has disrespectful, and grotesque so I have different flyers.
