UDP: Helping Hands Event
Underpression: Helping Hands was an individual presentation-based online event aiming to acknowledge mental health's self-caring side. Mental health is often tied to mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety – however, mental health also encompasses the care for one’s own mental wellbeing. UDP invited participants to share their unique coping mechanisms, destressors, and mindful activities in the form of a photo collage or slideshow. Each participant was designated a breakout room to arrange and share their designs with each other. Through this event, participants learned different strategies to ease their mental health wellbeing from their peers.
