Bearable Mental Health
Project Date: April 2021
Development and growth can be crucial during your formative years, as they become the foundation of who you’ll become as a person throughout the rest of your life. Mental health plays a vital role in this, and introducing concepts of self-care and emotion management is fundamental to a child’s wellbeing - through colorful friends conveying these ideas in a way that kids can enjoy and relate to, Bearable Mental Health is a project dedicated to ensuring children can have the chance to grow up happy and healthy, in both body and mind.
Bearable Mental Health is a project created for UNLV’s Capstone Exhibition as my final project in the graphic design program. The goal of this project was for students to find a problem they were passionate about, present research and evidence of this problem’s existence, and developing a solution to this problem. Bearable Mental Health is the solution to the necessity for children’s mental health resources - at the core of this project is a children’s book called “Let’s Meet Bernie & Friends”, which can be read in full here.
