"HOW MIGHT WE REDUCE THE FEAR OF ASKING FOR HELP IN YOUNG ADULTS?"
RESEARCH
NEARLY 1 IN 12 U.S. ADULTS SUFFERS FROM DEPRESSION
1 IN 15 ADULTS SUFFERS FROM ANXIETY
INTERVIEWS
"I just didn’t want to seem crazy"
"I don't want to be a burden on others, people probably don't care"
"It wasn't uncommon for me to sleep 12-14 hours a day"
PROBLEM
Young adults struggling with mental health challenges often do not ask for help or guidance when needed
TESTING
Our prototype is 2.5"x2.5". Is this too big or too small?
Would you use this or keep it in your room?
Would you feel less judgment talking to the prototype rather than your friends?
