Project Description

Students designed their own clever memes to express the mental health struggles they face in their everyday lives.

Word from the Changemaker

"My meme centers around awareness, which is often something mental health lacks. Simple things such as homework may appear manageable, but are actually one of the primary causes of school stress and less time for self care. Many concerned parents may also pressure their kids into feeling of anxiety rather than actually helping their mental health. I hope others can find a touch of humor and relatability to the struggles of school through this meme. Using creativity and humor to create this meme made me happier. I feel like my mood has improved because using creativity can bring a sense of accomplishment in my finished creation."
