You Are Not Alone Murals can already be found on walls in neighborhoods across NYC. We have teamed up with Priority Bicycles for Priority Delivers. Priority Delivers is a multi-part activation in various bustling areas of the city which entails the surprise distribution via bicycle of postcards featuring art with the phrase “You Are Not Alone.”
The Goal
The goal is to spark hope, connection, and conversations about mental health. The special project broadens the reach into new communities and places it near schools, hospitals, and treatment facilities. This activation recreates the emotions of encountering the murals in person–surprise, feeling seen and connected, that the encounter was “meant to be,” and concern about who else might need to hear this message–but on an intimate scale with one-on-one interaction.
The Take Away
Every recipient receives 2 postcards: one to keep and one to pass the message along. The postcards include contact info for NAMI-NYC who offers FREE services to help families and individuals affected by mental illness.
