My goal is to bring awareness to the stigma associated with having mental illness. "Mental health stigma involves marking and discrediting people due to their differences, which can instill feelings of shame or worthlessness. Those with mental health conditions may be labeled, stereotyped, or discriminated against as a result. For example, someone with a mental health condition may be called “crazy” or “dangerous”.1
Stigma affects the mental health of persons who are already vulnerable by further instilling a sense of social isolation.2

My concept is Mental Health Stigma.
Concept #1:
Show a side view of a person with a spiral of mental health struggles. The page is divided into 2 by a diagonal zig zag. The word on the right asks readers to stop mental health stigma. Pick show the mental internal struggle and the separation put up by mental health stigma. Thinking of using the words "stop" or "end."
Concept #2:
Show two brains on the left (repetition of design). the two boxes on the right display the problem (Mental health stigma) and a list of different mental health struggles. The two brains show the struggle to function with a mental illness.
Concept #3
Show a distressed/sad person sitting on the left and Mental health Stigma and a list of disorders on bottom. Stigma leads to further struggle and isolation.
Concept #4
Show side/front view (with a blurred or double image) showing how stigma exacerbates the struggle of mental illness.
Concept #5 Shows the faces of mental illness and the rejection of stigma.
Concept #6 poster is using word and no images with background of fireworks and the word stigma is blown apart.
