Full name: Lavenia Curuivalu The need or cause you are supporting What is the specific problem, cause or opportunity you are exploring? |
We are trying provide solutions and guidelines to reach out to people suffering from mental issues, the cause of this project is the prevalence of mental illnesses spreading in the Southern Pacific regions and the serious negative consequences. For example, suicidal thoughts and psychotic disorders lead people to commit suicide, others issues like bipolar disorders and personality disorders lead patients to self-harming or uncontrollable threatening behaviours towards others. By seeing the urgency of the problem, we are eager to provide suitable solutions or policy ameliorations to society. |
Goal What is the big-picture idea/vision and desired outcome of what your LiA project is trying to achieve in order to address the need or problem above? |

The big idea is to design monthly infographics to educate or promote the importance of mental issues awarenesses. Our project also aims to create posters that can be promoted everywhere, such as schools and public transport to wider range of audience. We understand that our posters can reach further impacts such as encouraging the government for policy reforms and public education on emotional handling or medical rehabilitations.
