Just Let Go
Erika Jaquez
Just Let Go is an examination of the interaction between mental health and design. It is an explorative online space that can be used to gain a sense of understanding over one's current mental health state. Through an interactive website that includes poems, illustrative descriptions of common illnesses, video collages, affirmations, a diary and more, users are taken on a quiet but powerful journey through a healing process. The website concludes with a series of exercises which users can employ as next-steps in their mental health journeys. Just Let Go is simultaneously an educative space as well as an investigation of whether design can be used as a tool for mental health practices.
