Image is an example of some anonymous student interaction.
Simran, Cristina, and Nicole
Our project as seen below was to use Sticky Notes as an anonymous way for students to vent and receive support from one other. The goal of this was to bring awareness to mental health and other issues students face. Often times students have no way to release unwanted stress or energy and their issues are bottled up and hidden away which has more cons than pros. This project brought light to these issues and also gave an optional sweet treat reward through a Google form for their participation.

The point of the project
The point of the project
We decided that the project would create a safe space to discuss mental pains and bring awareness of those pains. A better world is where people with mental health issues get help or at least have others be aware of what poor mental health is like.

The lasting impact
The lasting impact
We learned that people usually have a lot of stress from school and have no way to cope. At least 50% of the notes addressed school and the stress of it. We gave this information to the counselors as well as other data we collected so they had a better understanding of our peers mental health.

What did it mean?
What did it mean?
We think we did well. We think this project shows that even this much mental health awareness or support is enough to make a change in the world. A change to somewhere more positive and healthy. We noticed that other people around the school have started using sticky notes on their classroom doors, walls, etc. for kindness-related reasons. We think we made a difference in our community and saw how even the smallest acts can start a butterfly effect leading to a kinder world.
