Youth for Mental Health Coalition, Inc.

Since its inception in 2016, Youth for Mental Health Coalition, Inc. (Y4MH) has been a leading force in mental health advocacy, actively engaging young individuals through impactful discussions on a range of mental health topics, both onsite and online.

Challenge

The onset of the global pandemic in 2020 posed significant challenges, particularly in the execution of on-site projects. Adapting to the new normal, Y4MH needed to pivot its initiatives online, necessitating a seamless and visually cohesive approach to maintain its strong presence.

Solution

As the Head of Creatives at Y4MH, during that time, I spearheaded the development of a comprehensive 'stylescape' toolkit aimed to streamline the creative production process, ensuring a consistent visual identity across diverse online platforms.

Guided by the toolkit, I also contributed to the layout design of the Y4MH Advocacy Handbook.

Recognizing the gaps in the sustainability of mental health initiatives, the Y4MH Advocacy Handbook was created to offer an inclusive approach by providing guidelines, supplementary information, and frameworks. It serves as a comprehensive guide for any individual or organization seeking education about mental health and aiming to initiate their own programs.
