Facilitating Discussions on Mental Health
My team of three focused on mental health in rural communities, exploring the unique challenges these areas face and how we might create a service that effectively supports our target audience. We took an in-depth approach at every stage of the process, ultimately developing a final design project in collaboration with the Center for Clinical Excellence at BJC. Working alongside them, we gained valuable insights and refined our ideas.
Project Overview
Research
Collaborating with BJC, the Farmington BJC Clinic, and the Farmington Clubhouse, we delved into the specific needs and challenges of rural mental health.
Synthesis
Personas
We redefined the supporter persona from a married partner to a friend of the individual in need. A friend is the ideal supporter—engaged but not overbearing—striking the right balance of involvement.
