Usability Protocol

Imagine that you are in a position wherein you have friends or family who struggle with mental
illness. It can be difficult to talk about issues like depression and suicide, even with those you are very
close with, especially since many who suffer from mental illness struggle with opening up about their
mental illnesses. You know that many of your other peers do not really know much about mental health,
which makes your environment feel unsafe for those who need support from the community. It is up to
you to start encouraging discussion surrounding mental health awareness, provide those in need with
resources for therapy and counseling, and create a safe space for those struggling with depression and
suicide to speak up about their mental health. This instruction set will help you use your social media
platform as a productive means of spreading awareness about suicide and mental health.
