The mindyourmind multi-media street team is a group of youth who have committed to promote positive messages and decrease stigma around the issues of mental health. Follow them along on their journey with mindyourmind through weekly blogs!
We were off to a great start with a bunch of unique ideas during our first PSA brainstorming session. The main focus for this session was to get as many creative ideas out on paper then visualizing & conceptualizing our first PSA shoot of the year.
Even with a small number of members present, we were able to set the tone with what type of message will be carried out by highlighting specific examples of a mental health disorder (suicide, PTSD, bullying, depression). Our ultimate goal is to raise awareness of these mental illness and send out a positive, hopeful message to those in need of help. Examples included sharing personal stories to keep it very genuine, and also to grab the audience's attention.
We thought that school setting would be an ideal location to portray what goes on in today's teenagers' lives. Students will have a chance to speak freely to the authoritative figures, such as teachers and parents, giving them a chance to listen closely to the daily struggles for them.
Within an hour we came up with 10+ ideas that will be consolidated in the next meeting to solidify our main concept a bit further.
Looking forward to the next steps coming up for this project, team!
