Mind The Treatment Gap

This group identified that the stigma around mental health was at an all-time low, and notably that many with issues take months to years to open up about their mental health, if at all. They therefore aimed to empower people to talk about their difficulties more easily by giving visibility to what is usually invisible, and to reduce the stigma by increasing the understanding of the perspectives of people with mental health difficulties.

During Grand Challenges week, this group created a series of posters which pictured common scenarios, as well as linking their project with the mental health charity, Mind.
