I am making a poster for a mental illness resource center. Many people who are newly diagnosed with a mental illness see it has a condemnation or a “death sentence”. thats not true, but the feeling is part of the recovery journey.
Of course i could put thousands of pictures in this poster.
This is just a rough draft i through together from tumbnails on the web.

this is a fantastic poster… one of the best mental health posters that I have seen.. and believe me, I have scoured the net trying to find them…. please be encouraged to keep up the outstanding work… and many thanks……..
I am the Resource Director for NAMI Lehigh Valley. I would love to have one of these posters to display at our health fairs. Can you tell me how to order one? Thanks.
Chris’s Reply: Hi Janet. Thanks, i’m glad you like the poster. I will send you an E-mail over the weekend.

i don’t mean to be an annoyance, but for correct grammar purposes, “your” in the poster should be “you’re”.
but i love the concept and it is uplifting to see that there are people in history who have successfully dealt with mental illnesses.
thanks.
Chris Replies not an annoyance at all. The constructive criticsm is helpful. Thanks for your comment, John.
Thanks for such a great poster! I was unaware that some of those people had been diagnosed with mental illness.
excellent!
Absolutely wonderful!! And you are right that thousand could be added, what an inspiration! Keep up the great work and remember that may is national mental health awareness month! Wear your ribbons with pride!! Keep postin your work!! You rock!
i LOVE this poster! would we maybe be able to use it for our MentalHealthCamp in april, a conference about the intersection between social media and mental health?
I really liked this poster – I think it is just great. I wonder if you ever came across yet another poster that was specifically targeting Bipolar Disorder – regretfully, I’ve missed this one. As I recall, this poster was dedicated to some series of post stamps (2003 or 2004) and was called something like “Famous people that influenced our life with Bipolar Disorder”. I was trying to find this poster but couldn’t get it from anywhere – I wonder if you have seen it or, perhaps, know where it can be ordered from.
Thank you!
@isabellla thanks. on the “Charts” page of this blog is a corrected version of the poster.
@olga, i’m sorry I do not know where you can find the poster you are referring too.
Thank you All for your comments!
and what exactly were the diagnoses on each character? i thing you should have that written on the pictures rather than their names.
Thanks for your comment aliceintaraminunilor,
However i think you missed the point.
If I had to write something on a picture of me( for example),I would put my own name. Not my diagnosis (of Bipolar disorder)
Same goes with the folks in the photos.
This is a great poster! Would it be okay to use this image in conjunction with an article about mental illness to be published in a not-for-profit academic publication?
Chris’ quick reply: I will have to check into it. Many of the faces on this poster are presently living.
Thanks Chris!
Great work! My friend is bipolar and psychotic to. And i’m borderline.
Thanks Barbara, BPD is only finally really defined and outline.
All bet we could find many great achievers,through history that also fit the Borderline Diagnosis
