Calling all middle and high school students! Time to think like an advertiser!
AIM wants to talk about mental health. Each year, our annual AIM for Awareness Design Challenge invites students like YOU to submit a piece of art that raises awareness about youth mental health challenges, stigma, and solutions.
We are looking for designs that can provide hope to someone struggling with mental health. Your art may encourage other youth to speak up and seek help, or it might encourage others to be empathetic. Your art might help reduce the stigma associated with mental illness and substance use disorders and help break the stigma for youth to seek support and treatment.
