The Effects of Cancer on the Mental Health of Students
The poster is designed to raise awareness on the effects of cancer on the mental health of students. The poster also informs the target audience, which is the general public, that there are ways that could be used to help mitigate some of the effects of cancer. The proposed methods are student-specific cancer support groups. The support group is structured to help answer questions, encourage and facilitate connection of the diagnosed individuals with others in fighting cancer. Moreover, it also helps in connecting the individual with the available campus resources that could help improve performance.
Reasons for Using the Poster and Promoting Cancer Support Groups
The reason behind using a poster to reach out to the target audience, student-specific cancer support groups, is because it is the only easy way that would incorporate a visual design, image, and colors and deliver the intended message. Besides, through the poster, it would be easy to promote cancer awards and call attention to join the support group.
The Importance of Creating Awareness about Cancer
Given that cancer is one of the most devastating diseases in the United States and in other countries in the world, individuals diagnosed with the disease experience serious physical, mental, and emotional effects. Creating awareness through the poster would help individuals have early diagnosis to avoid deaths. The impact of cancer on the mental health of these young, school-going persons is serious and more damaging. Providing cancer patients with the right information, education, and support through support groups would help address some issues associated with cancer. Specific steps are given, and a budget of 2000 USD per month is provided. The adoption of this solution will go a long way in helping children and young people get back to school to complete their education.
