Description
In high-stress work environments, mental health is often overlooked due to stigma and lack of accessible solutions. Fortis addressed this with The Calendar That Heals, translating art therapy into an everyday experience. Built on research around mandalas and repetitive visual engagement, the calendar uses structured illustrations to support stress reduction, emotional regulation and improved focus. Each month features a distinct mandala designed for simple, mindful interaction. By embedding this into a familiar desk object, the intervention removes barriers of time, effort and stigma. The act of engagement becomes the intervention itself. Distributed across Fortis hospitals, corporates, PSU partners and doctors, it enabled repeated, long-term interaction. The Calendar That Heals shows how scientifically grounded design can make mental health support accessible and actionable.
