EarthLore was engaged to develop a unique, vibrant and culturally responsive branding campaign for the initiative and to raise awareness of regionally focused and culturally responsive, holistic wellness and mental health support tools through production of a series of help videos.
The videos, supported by original illustrated branding and a 20-page student handbook, feature students with lived experiences, Elders offering teachings, and guidance from councillors and community helpers. The campaign’s objectives were to destigmatize mental health challenges experienced by Indigenous students on campus and to promote a holistic approach to wellness that is central to Indigenous ways of knowing and being.
