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!
After our usual check-ins around the table with each other, we began speaking about the various nominations for grants that mindyourmind is currently in the running for through various businesses. We are currently nominated for a WINDthanks Community Grant though WIND Mobile. Winning this would give mindyourmind $10,000 to further enhance our upcoming International Youth Day event! mindyourmind is also nominated for a community grant through Siskinds Law Firm in London. They are donating $5000 to the charity that gets the most votes with their story (so please vote here under Maximilian Specht!).
We were informed that another group of youth was asked to work on a Mobile App Project with Kids Help Phone. We were asked to review the two app idea videos, and comment and vote for our favourite.
We then continued brainstorming PSA ideas from where we left off a few weeks ago. We further developed our ideas into more concrete ideas. In this situation, basically the sky was the limit. If you had an idea, anything was possible. We also came up with a few ideas for an additional video for mindyourmind that they can use to explain mindyourmind to conference goers and professionals alike.
That’s all for now! Come back next week to see what we we’re up to next!
Thanks,
Deana
