Isolation is the worst possible counselor

If mass media, social isolation in the suburbs, alienating workplaces and long car commutes create a bunker mentality, the Internet does the opposite.

Project Rationale

Our project is an instagram campaign, blog, and presentation to help our peers with teen isolation. This project is intended to give people resources and information about the causes and forms of isolation. Adolescents struggle with isolation is a big problem. It can lead to mental illness, and can affect their Future physical health. We chose these methods, with much deliberation, because they connect the best to our peers, and is more accessible. Our hope is that we can provide choices for people experiencing isolation and mental health issues. We also want to show the causes and symptoms of isolation, so people can identify it.

This project is important because it goes over the problems that cause isolation, like trauma and self esteem issues. If we shed light on these, people may feel that they can be more open with their struggles. We also want to put clubs, groups, and activities that they can join. Our hope is that these will give people communities. Knowing about isolation and its causes will also help because then our peers may be able to identify it in themselves, and get help.
