Tomorrow is the NAMI Walk exhibition for my biology class. We have to get there at 6:30 in the morning. My group is planning to set up our booth under a canopy so we can hang out in the shade while presenting to people who walk by our booth. On our booth we will have our T-Shirts laid out on the table for people to see. I designed a couple papers for our booth as well that have some contact info for if people are ever having major issues with their depression and need professional support. Then along with those things we will be engaging our visitors in an interactive activity that will serve as a metaphor for teen depression. A lot of times people will describe their depression as a weight on their shoulders or a weight pulling them down like an anchor. In our activity we will have a heavy backpack and put it on our guests then have them do the simple task of sitting down and standing up just enough so they get tired because some people with severe depression are so exhausted that they don’t want to get up but, we only want to give our participants a small taste of what it’s really like so we won’t go that far. While the participants are doing this we will be telling them fact and symptoms of depression. After they complete this activity we will tell them how to get help and some of the best ways of doing so.
