1 in 8 people in the world, or roughly 1 billion people, live with a mental disorder, the most common being depression and anxiety. (WHO, 2022)
Furthermore, demographic studies show that adolescence and young adulthood are associated with the emergence of mental health disorders (Kessler et al., 2005).
As such, More Than A Note was started with the aim to support public mental health globally, especially amongst young adults (aged 18-34), through a two-pronged approach.
Firstly, through our Instagram posts, we aim to support public mental health in three ways: A T E
(1) Awareness: We post information on different mental illnesses such as depression and schizophrenia for the public to gain a better understanding of these illnesses.
(2) Tips: We regularly post mental health tips to help people improve their mental well-being, including tips for specific circumstances e.g. in the workplace, during Christmas, etc.
(3) Encouragements: We also regularly post quotes to encourage our audience in the midst of challenges they face.
Secondly, through our website, we hope to provide a platform where internet users can share encouragements with each other, and thus build resilience collectively and find joy in a sea of challenges.
You can join our movement today by sharing our posters to your friends, and following us on Instagram! And always remember, what you are sharing is much more than a note.
