Process Paper
The reason i chose my project was because of a comment by my mother.I was talking to her about it and i original idea was to make money and buy wool blankets for homeless up in salt lake. my mom said" Heber I think you should our community Because a lot of people are lonely or depressed and need help" This set me on the track of doing a project for mental health. then i started looking around online when i found the study by the AFSP stating that one person commits suicide every 15.6 hours and this was shocking to me and that is what really sold it for me.
at first i thought very little was working on mental health in utah when i figured out about all the foundations and groups making difference. I talked with the national suicide prevention group the american foundation for suicide prevention (AFSP) National alliance on mental illness (NAMI) , Hope squad and a few other places. this helped me find the best way of doing my project threw awareness. meeting all these people helped me find in addition to the best way to say it.
One of the biggest problems i faced was schedules to set up meetings was extremely hard for me. I also had little time to work. to fix these two i tried my best to schedule a good time to work and meet at least 3 days in advance to make sure we could make sure before other than that i had little problems.
My project relates to making a difference by changing peoples view on mental illness that it is a bigger problem in utah then people make think. i also want to make a difference by getting people to help preserve our peoples mental health.
