#SpeakYourMind seeks to break the stigmas and misconceptions surrounding neurodivergence one conversation at a time.
Stigma is an invisible barrier that makes people feel misunderstood, isolated, and reluctant to seek help for their mental health. #SpeakYourMind tears that barrier down by shining a light on the struggles and discriminations that neurodivergent people experience in society.
Empathy, compassion, and understanding are at the core of the #SpeakYourMind postcard campaign. Each card carries a message that communicates what living with certain neurodivergent conditions can feel like, so people without the conditions can understand and learn more.
The postcards catch the reader’s attention with bold ikat patterns and the unexpected, personal nature of being sent through the mail. Recipients may then pin their postcard up, mail it, share it on social media, or anything else to help spread awareness.
Social media plays a key role in raising awareness through the hashtag #SpeakYourMind. The community is encouraged to take the conversation online by writing about their lived experiences, providing support to others, and being willing to listen.
Blending the personal touch of a postcard with the connectivity of social media is crucial to starting conversations and destigmatizing neurodivergence.
