To champion World Mental Health Day on October 10, children’s comic Beano has a created a special yellow strip to show Beano’s support for YoungMinds’ #HelloYellow campaign. The special edition strip, which centres around this year’s theme, ‘How You Feel Matters’ went on sale on Wednesday, October 5, which explores Dennis’s mental health featuring his ‘Numskulls’.
The Numskulls are a series of Beano characters who live in our heads. They control our brain and all our senses, so if they’re having a bad day, we probably are too. The strip encourages children to talk about their mental health, and shows how not doing so can affect their wellbeing, highlighting the fact that children matter and so do their feelings.
YoungMinds’ #HelloYellow campaign encourages people to wear yellow to show their support for creating a brighter future for young people’s mental health. Beano has a longstanding partnership with YoungMinds, the UK’s leading charity fighting for children and young people’s mental health.
