About Project
This high school project encourages students to create a vibrant and engaging online campaign to destigmatize mental health. Working in teams, students will research mental health topics and use their creativity to design a dynamic digital campaign that includes videos, info graphics, blog posts, and social media content. The project will culminate in a live campaign where teams showcase their digital outreach and impact towards destigmatizing mental health. This project not only enhances students’ understanding of mental health but also develops their skills in digital marketing, teamwork, and empathy, promoting a proactive approach to mental health awareness. This Project is offered in association with Doc Gautham’s Neuro Centre.
