We believe mental health has a significant impact on our lives. This is why we will continue to spread awareness through our Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Spotify after the competition. We also hope to continue to speak to all kids of age in our school. We believe we can continue to make a substantial impact in our school and community!
Alongside this, we will try to become a club at our school, called Aligned Minds, focusing on teaching kids and our peers mental health and hosting many fundraisers at our school. We imagine this is a great way to spread our platform through high school and raise awareness through our school and community.
Next, we will continue to do small mindfulness activities such as yoga and meditation, as well as fundraisers such as bake sales and book drives.
Furthermore, we are currently working with our college counselor and guidance counselor to produce a research study about mental health and how to deal with the stress it comes with. We think this can help students deal with their issues, and hopefully convince them to reach out to a professional if they need help.
Lastly, we plan to make Aligned Minds into a passion project. Us, as a whole, grew very fond of making our Instagram and TikTok posts, as well as recording our podcast, and doing events to interest our peers in mental health. This is why we decided to expand Aligned Minds and turn it into a non-profit organization. We will teach classes about mental health to people outside our school, and charge them a one-time fee, so we can cover the operating costs, and donate the rest! We believe we can make an impact in our community, and this is how.
