On the Topic of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention
Help us better understand mental health challenges throughout North Carolina and the strategies communities are employing to address those challenges. Use publicly available information, like data and existing resources, to research any of the prompts below. Then get creative in sharing what you learned and what you think.
Share Your Point of View
Form a team of 2-5 students and work together to convey your findings and ideas – use any combination of research, data, personal experience, and your own expression, to answer one of the three prompts below:
You can choose how to convey your team’s insights and ideas. For example, your submission could be an infographic, a slide presentation, a data dashboard, or an interactive data visualization. You could also choose to design a poster, create artwork, write poetry, perform music, record a podcast, or offer an interpretive dance. A goal of this competition is to be inclusive, diverse, and creative in the ways that information and data can be visualized and shared.
Your Team Could Win $500
The top two entries will receive a $500 award, with smaller prizes awarded to “honorable mentions.” While we are offering prizes, we expect that all of the submissions will prove to be invaluable to the partnerships between our campus and North Carolina’s 100 counties. Submissions from this competition will be used to engage with communities across the state through programs like Our State, Our Wellbeing.
Your Work Will Inform Community Action
As part of UNC’s Engagement Week, Carolina Across 100 (CX100) offers the POV Challenge to invite undergraduate and graduate students to help analyze and visualize COVID-19’s health, economic and/or social impacts across North Carolina. Your efforts in this competition will serve as an important contribution to the campus-wide CX100 commitment to help communities in each of the state’s 100 counties.
