TikTok
As you can see, we have interviews and educational videos on different types of disorders. The most recent one is about stress and anxiety.
We made this account on TikTok, because it is a popular app for teenagers and adults, and hopefully our platform can bring awareness to the users.
We make our videos interactive and entertaining so that all our users enjoy watching!
YouTube
To expand our platform, we extended our content to YouTube!
Although this isn't as successful as our other social media platforms, we still continue to make a difference in our subscribers and viewers perspective of mental health.
Our Instagram is our longest and most active form to promote mental health. We believe Instagram is a productive way to get our message through to people of all ages. On our Instagram, we post interactive and high quality and quantity posts. We range from mindfulness events to the risk and protective factors of different disorders.
Here are all of the different types of posts we did:
We did this every once in a while to remind our followers to take a break and relax.
We made these posts to raise awareness on common mental health disorders such as PTSD, ADHD, OCD, eating disorders, depression, etc!
Awareness on these topics is significant, because they are common, so it can be present in their surroundings.
This is a good way to include disorders than can revolve around a season or specific time of the year, like season depression.
We made posts like this, and we talked about how to deal with exam stress and stress from school. As well as this, we had a BlissBoard where students can take a positive note to uplift their day.
We had many bake sale posts to raise awareness that we're hosting these sales. Alongside this, we also had trash day cleanup post to try and get more volunteers.
One of our biggest accomplishments comes from these bake sales! We donated over $300 to NAMI to help raise awareness throughout the community!
We had this idea for the month of May, Mental Health Awareness month, hoping we could get our followers aware of the hundreds type of mental health disorders and how to detect and prevent it from getting worse.
We have these posts because we believe it can help an individual when they are feeling stressed or even just need a distraction! We did this in honor of Mental Health Awareness month as well.
