Healing Hearts

Publication design | Design for social resposibility

Created a mental self-help toolkit containing   print deliverables that encourage healthy mental state of mind of college students. 

September – October 2021

College students can be unaware of the benefits of seeking professional help and taking care of their mental health.

Healing Hearts is a mental health, self-help toolkit, to encourage university students to seek professional help. It contains tools to enforce good mental hygiene. This project was done in collaboration with my university’s campus counsellor

The toolkit contains informative booklets about symptoms of poor mental health and encourages professional counselling, self-care strategies, and quick relaxation techniques. Along with the booklets, there are interactive posters and worksheets to build good mental health habits. 

3 booklets
