A t-shirt design contest seeks to raise awareness of mental health issues, submission/voting deadline is 11/15.  “Design an iconic t-shirt to inspire those going through a difficult time and/or to promote a message against mental health stigma.  Why? An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older - about one in four adults - suffer from a diagnosable mental illness in any given year.  However, stigma surrounding mental illness is a major barrier that prevents people from seeking the mental health treatment that they need.”  See more at: https://www.goodjoe.com/contests/263-design-for-a-greater-good-don-t-overlook-mental-health
