Bee Well

Life is tough, but so are you.

I’ve been working on a series of positive messages for the launch of SCAD’s Bee Well initiative. It’s a program to encourage healthy social, emotional, physical and academic living, as well as a place for students, that is safe and confidential, to receive support and encouragement when faced with some of life’s challenges.

School can be stressful and overwhelming, and it’s amazing that students have a place to turn to on campus when they need help. I too have struggled with anxiety, sometimes so bad that it would manifest as a physical thing. Maybe you’ve experienced it too - the tingling hands, tight chest, racing heart. Remember to breathe (deeply), focus on your immediate physical sensations and surroundings, and be. That’s helped me a few times.

This project is close to my heart; I really can relate, so I’m happy to be given the opportunity to create these positive messages. Maybe someone will see these and feel a bit of happiness.
