The mental health continuum board will be
placed in a university common area.
The intent is to get people to reflect on their
mental state at that moment and to see how
others are also feeling. Students may also
become aware of their own ebb and flow
depending on their current circumstances
The STIGMA of mental illness is a major barrier to education, seeking help for accommodation, and developing healthy social connections
This interactive campaign will: help those in the university community begin to reflect
on the fact that we have all suffered some form of emotional pain at different points in
our lives. Emotional Pain is a universal truth that unites us. The more cognizant we are
of our own feelings, the more likely we are to empathize with others.
