I chose to use a poster for mental health as my 2nd Artifact for several reasons. Being on a college campus with students from all age ranges has opened my eyes to the different stressors that could be occurring in our lives. For 1st years, our stress involves being on our own for the first time and being away from our family. A 4th year could be dealing with the stress of trying to do everything this degree requires. As college students, it is important for us to be aware of our mental health and for those who struggle with mental disorders such as anxiety to have to support system in order to deal with them. Unfortunately, there have been some incidents with students on this campus were not able to properly care for themselves and their mental health. I have observed some of my closest friends being taken over by their mental issues due to the stress that college brings to students as well as myself. These issues have striked my interest in learning more about mental health and how if affects people differently. Being a young African American woman, it is important for me to be aware that mental health awareness is not greatly promoted in my community which leads us to have more mental disorders. This is something that I would consider getting involved in research with.
