Monica Acciavatti Capstone

My Capstone dives into my own story of dealing with mental health but also my communities. I use various forms of art like writing, podcasting, and physical art to bring forth the stories of my peers and staff but also my own. I wanted to destigmatize mental health with this project and create a safe space here at SLA so people feel less alone by knowing my story as well as others. I also included resources for anyone in need or in crisis and provided accessible therapy and rehabilitation places. I wanted to not just accommodate all groups of people from Women to LGBTQIA to POC but make this a website that is available to all and can be accessed by both students and staff to better the mental health environment here at SLA. The capstone process has taught me that mental health takes many forms for different people and is an aspect that plays such importance in a student’s academic life as well as their teacher’s lives. I have learned a lot about myself in this process as well. I learned to look on the brighter side of life and realize that life is beautiful in struggle and triumph.
