We’re making mental health conversations easier with dedicated student and teacher portals.

By sharing real stories and engaging visuals, we’re raising awareness, reducing stigma, and ensuring young adults know they’re not alone—because understanding mental health should be as natural as talking about your favorite show.

We began with a basic template file, but it quickly expanded into a full set of openers, titles, and transitions for the video graphics.

This setup made our workflow between video editing and animation so much more efficient, all by making the most of MOGRT templates.

The trickiest part of the website was making sure the content didn’t feel overwhelming, especially since 70% of their users are on mobile.

With some thoughtful spacing, supportive images, and a few custom illustrations, we pulled together a layout that’s easy on the eyes and pairs perfectly with the message.
