Brief:
Ahead of World Mental Health Day on the 10th
October, we would like you to create designs for a mental health greeting cards
that can be used as a mechanism for people to reach out and offer their support
to somebody who may be struggling with their mental health.
Studies have shown that receiving a handwritten card is far
more personal, creates a positive boost and makes people feel far more special
than receiving texts, emails or social media messages.
Online greeting card company and the home of independent
creators, thortful, alongside national mental health charity Chasing the Stigma
will produce and sell mental health focused greetings cards on World Mental
Health Day, in a bid to make it easier for people to reach out to friends or
family and simply ask ‘Are you ok?’
100% of the profits raised will be donated to Chasing the
Stigma.
Prizes:
The top three winning designs will be produced into mental
health greeting cards and sold on thortful.com.
The overall winner will receive a year’s supply of cards
from thortful.com and £50.
Plus, the winner and three runners up will become part
thortful’s growing community of
independent creators.
About Chasing the
Stigma and the Hub of Hope:
Chasing the Stigma is a national mental health charity
(charity number 1170757) set up by Liverpool born stand-up comedian and writer,
Jake Mills following his own battle with depression and suicide attempt almost
5 years ago.
The charity aims to normalise and humanise mental health,
after all, there is nothing more normal than something everyone in the world
has.
Everybody in the world has mental health. Yet the fear of
being judged is preventing many people from talking about it. Chasing the
Stigma want to help remove that fear and unnecessary stigma, by using
first-hand experiences to say ‘I have suffered. I got through it and you can
too’. You are never alone.
Chasing the Stigma created the Hub of Hope, a first of its
kind, national mental health database which brings together organisations and
charities, large and small, who offer mental health advice and support,
together in one place.
The Hub of Hope, which is free downloadable app, as well as
being online at hubofhope.co.uk uses your devices location to find mental
health support near you, wherever you are in the country – think of it as the
Just Eat of the mental health world.
It is a first of its kind database, making help as easy as
possible to find and reaffirming the message, ‘you are never alone’.
Good luck, we hope you can help us
spread a very important message across the world with today's brief.
Thank you.
