Mental Health Awareness Week - films to raise awareness

Over the past few months, we have been working with Solent University 2nd year TV production students on a series of films focussing on the subject of mental health.  We gave them a set of briefs around working in mental health, patient and staff stories, raising awareness of our services and signposting for those needing support. The films have been created through a collaboration between the university students, our staff and our service users and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them for participating and producing these.

The results are not only an excellent example of real-world learning for the students, but highly creative films that we will be using on our communications channels to deliver important messages around mental health awareness.

We are proud to have been involved in this project and will be launching one video a day during Mental Health Awareness Week.....
