It Matters is a campaign aimed to raise awareness about depression and mental wellness. In the first phase, we passed forward what we called “kindness cards,” which were each designed with a positive message intended to brighten someone’s day, around our campus and beyond. After generating some buzz, we collected anonymous submissions from students across campus stating their worries and anxieties. These anonymous statements were printed onto individual cards and used to cover an infographic displaying information correlating mental health, depression, and college students. On the final day of the campaign, students were asked to find a card with a sentiment that they identified with and to remove the cards to gradually reveal the infographic.
