Survivor Outreach System
For this Campaign assignment, I wanted to design for a conceptual nonprofit that would be
led
by, and primarily serve, adult
survivors of
childhood sexual abuse.
SOS would offer peer-support to adult survivors who aren't yet out of
the woods with their healing, as well as programming for schools (which could include staff
workshops, presentations geared
towards different age groups, and information sessions for parents), and emotional and
logistical support for people who are navigating the process of reporting ongoing
child sexual abuse.
The primary goals of SOS are to facilitate and encourage rehabilitation from, and prevention
of,
childhood sexual abuse by offering unwavering, accessible support for adult survivors,
barrier-free suport for whistleblowers trying to protect children in their homes or
communities,
and low- or no- cost supplemental educational materials for school settings.
Survivor Outreach System is cool, calm and collected, but utilizes a sense of urgency and
seriousness in its colour pallette, the tone of its copy, and its approach to advertising.
My
goal was to create content that would discreetly, respectfully speak to adult survivors
(without
being overtly triggering), make sense to other adults, and feel serious for children who
might
witness it without scaring them.
I wanted to treat the subject of child abuse with the seriousness it deserves, without
making
the content feel unapproachable, and without creating anything that might be particularly
upsetting for those living with the trauma of said abuse.
