Friends Talk

This was a proposed new introduction into the U-Flourish literacy course, with an aim of reducing stigma before entering the course and encourage honest engagement. U-Flourish is a course that teaches about mental health and how it affects individuals and communities. This introduction will bring a human element to the course, and encourage communication to avoid generalisations. Through a marketing campaign including leaflets, posters, stickers, and t-shirts the project uses humour to make the topic more approachable, normalising talking about mental health with friends.
