Pyschotherapy
I chose these articles because they really give educational information with the statistics that I was looking for. For example, over 28 million people in the world have mental illnesses and don't get treatment. There are many reasons why. For example, insurance, time, money, or simply not knowing where to start to find them. Another attached article explains the types of therapy available for those seeking help.
These articles are educational pieces. They are all recent and are from organizations of hospitals, the American Psychological Association, or even the National Institute of Mental Health. In one of the articles, there are numerous graphs and important information that make it clear how high the numbers are.
My purpose for this content is to help many people and let the public/peers know that there is help that can be given. These articles have a purpose to serve information to peers and the public about understanding psychotherapy and how it can help you.
Art intervention:
I was juggling between two choices. Either having peers fill a big heart with finger paint. This heart is going to be drawn and painted. A fair-sized band-aid will be "curing the heart". The heart filled with each finger will represent every single one of us. The message here is " we are all united with love, and will heal together if we have each other".
My second idea is to have a big canvas or mini canvases, and have them filled with each peer participating in the words or phrases that they want to tell the world.
