ASPEN CHALLENGE PROJECT

Students were challenged to design an innovative approach for helping youth effectively navigate their mental health journey by creating a roadmap that will connect them to resources to support their wellness.

The Express Campaign is a non-traditional roadmap to help students navigate mental health through artistic expression, connection, and access to resources. We started a conversation with the San Diego Met High School student body that led to opening a space for creating and celebrating art as a tool to foster better mental health. In addition, we launched a website and social media campaign to engage students in sharing art as a mental health support. In addition, we provide accessible mental health resources including crisis intervention and long term clinical support.

Teachers: Gini Mann-Deibert & Tabby Kohmescher
