At my internship we have 1 graphic designer (me); where I work on event flyers and 2 web designers as well; working on the company landing page. Which makes the work process a little less chaotic because everyone has a role and work assigned for each of us instead of having things piled up on one person to do. I started a new project on a flyer for a mental health awareness event (sponsored by NAMI). Each year over 40 million Americans will experience a serious mental health condition and less than half will seek treatment due to stigma and discrimination.
The Artest Foundation has upcoming mental health awareness events that they teamed up with The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) a United States-based advocacy group originally founded as a grassroots group by family members of people diagnosed with mental illness. NAMI identifies its mission as “providing advocacy, education, support, and public awareness so that all individuals and families affected by mental illness can build better lives” and its vision as “a world where all people affected by mental illness live healthy, fulfilling lives supported by a community that cares”. NAMI offers classes and training for people living with mental illnesses, their families, community members, and professionals, including what is termed psychoeducation, or education about mental illness. NAMI holds regular events which combine fundraising for the organization and education, including Mental Illness Awareness Week and NAMI Walks.
