Each student had to choose a course that they connected to. For mine, I choose to focus on men's mental health targeting the females in their life to take the initiative and start the conversation. Two of the campaigns angles that I've chosen to explore are through a poster and social media post 

THE ISSUE 

For decades men have been seen and raised in a society believing that mental health is something that they must manage by themselves, it isn’t talked about much among themselves. Because of this only 65% per cent of men who do struggle with mental health issues currently seek out the help that they need, eventually turning towards destructive coping mechanisms to alleviate and avoid the problems/underlying causes that have contributed to the decline in their mental health which eventually can lead to other health problems or suicide.

Although mental health is an issue that is widely talked about a lot of the time it’s shown as being directed towards the general public instead of specific groups that need more attention. Because of this many people will think that it’s been spoken about enough or that many people with mental health problems are already getting the treatment they need however that's not the case.
