If You're Reading This
About
Mental health is, and has been, on the decline for quite some time. With social media, school, and the endless negative factors on mental health, it is more important than ever to slow this trend. Stepping up to get help is nearly impossible for people who are in need. Because of a negative stigma associated with mental health, they feel embarrassed or invalid. Creating a free and accessible form of help is necessary. IfYourAreReadingThis is an online resource that allows students to read and relate to letters written by students and faculty at Virginia Tech and many more colleges around the country. It is a no-commitment necessary resource that could be a stepping stone for students who are thinking about reaching out for help. School is a huge factor that contributes to anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts but we want to contribute to the slow of these things as much as possible. IfYouAreReadingThis will be a therapeutic resource for those wanting to express themselves in the form of a letter and for those looking for a story to read and relate with.
