Find the Words
This short is a brief reflection of my own experience in which my best friend found the words. I aimed to provide the three basic action steps someone could remember in a situation where they are concerned about someone they know. Although I wish I could have gotten more creative with my scenes, I did my best with the time allotment of 30 seconds.

This video is about Walking in Shoes of Depression about a young girl who feels lost and helpless. However, one of her closest friends seemed concerned. All her friends happen to read notes from a box she left behind. They come to find out by reading the notes she doesn’t feel like she belongs on earth anymore. As a result, as a group, they went to check up on her to show she is not alone and show her distractions, love, and support! She doesn’t have to walk alone in shoes of depression.
