NAMI Sticky Note Project: |
Through working with Deep Run Marathon dance, I got to meet with different organizations we raised money for. One of the organizations that stuck with me was NAMI (National Alliance of Mental Illness). Through meeting the people there, I realized that awareness in different schools needed to be made more present because 1 in every 5 students have some sort of mental illness. I took it upon myself to help Deep Run High School raise Awareness for Mental Illnesses by the sticky note project. By writing information about how to get help for a mental illness on 1,500 sticky notes, then placing them around the school walls, students began to chance and make a difference in each others lives. Deep Run High School is currently in a healthy mental health movement. As of April 2016. |
