Info
State/Province: Our goal is to build the LARGEST cardboard fort in the world. Why? Because the stigma around mental health is a huge barrier for many.
Our organization is called Room Here and we’re creating room here for a new conversation about mental fitness. We’re championing mental fitness in the workplace to create healthier individuals, families, and communities.
We want to break the stigma around mental health conversations, and we believe a great way to start is by breaking a world record. We’re bringing the community together to make Room Here for our mental health!
We want the world and our community to see the record-breaking statement we make about the mental health conversation.
The cardboard fort consisted of cardboard, packing tape, duct tape, and paint. It takes a village to tackle mental health, and it'll take a village to make this cardboard fort a reality.
Why do we want to break a record? Because understanding, educating, and struggling with mental health is a big deal, and through breaking a world record we can start breaking the stigma of mental health conversations at work in a big way!
