In early 2020, Waypoint Research Institute staff showed their creative talents by designing posters to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and promote help-seeking for PTSD. Waypoint staff voted and here are the winners from each section. They can be downloaded, printed, and shared in your workplace.

We leveraged the design skills and creativity of Waypoint Research Institute staff and held a poster competition. Seventeen posters were submitted in three categories: PTSD awareness, PTSD help, and Anti-stigma messaging for psychiatric staff. We thank Aaron Sanqui, Desneige Frandsen, Jennifer Crawford, Jolene Wintermute, Michelle Dueckman, Talia Emmanuel, and Nicole Adams for their excellent submissions nd Sonja Addison for her exceptional editing.

Submissions were shared electronically with staff and stakeholders. Voters were entered into a draw for a $25 gift card. Designers of the winning posters in each category received a $25.00 honorarium and the winning posters were be professionally printed for display on clinical units.
