2. we don’t talk about
mental health
And because we don't,
other people don't either.
Stigma :-/

5. Mad props to @numiko for winning this work
and for letting me loose on it!
6. “people with mental health
problems are weird”
Kids don't have to be very old
before they understand this.
7. 1 in 10
The proportion of young people who
experience mental health problems.
That's like 2 - 3 per class.
Like puberty doesn't already suck enough!
8. non-profits
Not the poor relation you'd expect.
Non-profits get goodwill in spades.
We were able to harness that here.
9. talking to young people
Golly, I loved doing this. The young people we
spoke to were so awesome.
And we got such rich data.
10. card sort
(worst. photo. EVER.)
When you're documenting your work, it will look
better than this. Right? Right.
11. Jason
reactive supporter
Assumption surfaced:
young people are uncritical
consumers of social media.
12. Abby
unconscious discriminator
Assumption surfaced: young people already
understand mental health, and why the
campaign is relevant to them.
13. Jen
aware sympathetic
Assumption surfaced:
desire to support campaign
= desire to share/publicly support it.
14. Nate
active supporter
Assumption surfaced: young people who
already actively support the campaign
don't need resources to help them do it.

But actually, we only had to reach their peers
— and make shareable content for them.
23. We used our personas, journeys and content
framework to inform information architecture
and content for the young people's site.
