CARE
BY: PATRICK BROWN
MESSAGING APPROACH
- This initiative will need a calculated and relevant message in order to capture not only the general
public, but key stakeholders who will potentially oversee the initiative
- The message depicted here, will be a multi-faceted message containing education, information and
directions to seek care.
- It will also include details of potential legislation mandating a screening take place at every
outpatient visit
- The message will aim to educate the public about the stigma attached to mental illness, it will
provide information regarding symptoms, etc and will include the stakeholders involved in the
initiative
SOLUTION

during all outpatient visits is a potential
solution

compliance
