WORK 5: SEMESTER LONG INFOGRAPHIC PROJECT

FAMILY COMMUNICATION (COME 328)

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

LEARNING OUTCOME 1: CREATE MESSAGES APPROPRIATE TO THE AUDIENCE, PURPOSE, AND CONTEXT

LEARNING OUTCOME 3: ANSWER COMMUNICATION QUESTIONS USING APPROPRIATE RESEARCH METHODS (SOCIAL SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH)

BASED ON THE RESEARCH I CONDUCTED, THIS PROJECT TIED IT ALL TOGETHER IN A COMPELLING VISUALIZATION, REQUIRING CLEAR CONTENT, FOCUS, ORGANIZATION, AND VISUAL APPEAL.

WHEN AND WHY I CREATED IT: 

I CREATED THIS RESOURCE IN THE FALL OF 2022, JUST A FEW MONTHS INTO MY INTERNSHIP AT CASA OF BROWN COUNTY.  BASED ON WHAT I WITNESSED DURING THESE FEW MONTHS, I WANTED TO SHED LIGHT ON FAMILIES WHO HAVE CHILDREN UNDER COURT PROTECTION.  OFTEN WHEN WE THINK OF FAMILIES, THIS IS NOT A RELATIONSHIP WE ASSOCIATE WITH FAMILY.  GIVEN THAT RESEARCH SUPPORTS THAT CHILDHOOD TRAUMA CAN AFFECT COMMUNICATION, MENTAL HEALTH, AND PHYSICAL HEALTH, I WANTED TO SPREAD AWARENESS ABOUT THIS POPULATION AND HOW IT AFFECTS RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN FAMILY, WHETHER THAT BE BIOLOGICAL, LEGAL, OR CHOSEN.

TARGET AUDIENCE: 

DR. MORGAN & CASA OF BROWN COUNTY WORKERS AND ADVOCATES
