Project Overview
Migration is not always voluntary. Sometimes people are forced and leave their homes because of war or domestic violence, poverty, health reasons, etc. Some migrants who have come to the U.S. are not even aware of the services that may be available for them locally. For example, they need to talk to someone about their stress, or how to cope with depression and fear, etc.
The Objective
These posters would help to be one solution to this overall problem. The posters would offer quick information about where one can seek emotional or physical help, where to find ways to Gert involved with their community, etc. They’d be in places they may often be in, such as libraries, schools, and local institutions. Such information would allow migrants to get familiar with the different types of services and resources where they can potentially get help from, and know where to go.
Poster 1: Directing Immigrants who are feeling depressed or lost to seek help from mental health professionals.
Poster 2: Offering a beneficial location in each of the five boroughs, where migrants can get proper counseling.
Poster 3: Encouraging migrants to get involved with there community, explaining to them that being apart of something would help give them a sense of belonging.
Poster 4: Offering suggestions of where a migrant can seek safe and confidential medical help if they or their child is ill.
