I have just finished my last class to get my Graphic Design certificate! I am super excited! I have a Small Business Management certificate, Social Media Marketing Certificate, and Graphic Design Certificate. My last assignment for my class was to create three public service announcement posters. The topic I chose was mental health. For those who might not know my family struggles with depression and anxiety due to having autism and ADHD. One set was designed with the help of my children and the other set helps us remember that mental health doesn't need fixed. As my therapist said, "We don't fix people because they aren't broken." We may feel broken but it is a struggle we constantly have to deal with in life. Another therapist that my oldest had said something to the effect that it is important to never quit therapy because you can always be working on yourself.
So instead of thinking people with mental health struggles are broken and need fixed, try instead to see them, hear them, and love them. That is what they need.
