Our group is aiming to raise awareness for the roots of mental health and where many mental health problems stem from. Our group has noticed a lack of awareness and availability of information about the source of where mental health struggles can stem from. We want people to not only be aware of the impact of mental health on someone, but to be able to identify the causes. 

Our goal is to make more people aware of how some of these mental health problems originate or develop. We're delving into research as well as peer interviews and surveys to gather information. We used the information we gathered from throughout the semester to find sources to convert to scannable QR codes that have been put onto a bulletin board for student use.

Below are the sources we chose for our website:

• American Psychological Association 

• Mind.org

• HHS Mental Health Resources

• CDC mental health

We are partnering with the Holliston High School Student Counseling Office and using their resources to further our project goal. We also collaborated with the school's administration office to gain approval for goals we needed to reach throughout the course of our work.

Do your own research too! Our group barely scratched the surface of what there is to learn about the roots of mental health. All you have to do is find it. Educate yourself beyond just this!

After creating our own PSA, we created a group of QR codes on a bulletin board in a high-traffic area of one of the hallways in the school. These codes lead to links and resources to help people with becoming more aware of the roots of mental health.
