Young people in Renfrewshire are seeking to change people’s attitudes towards mental health problems by making them realise the true extent of the emotional impact it can have and to tackle the stigma around speaking out.
They have helped put together some unapologetically hard-hitting videos to show those who might not understand or perhaps even ridicule the effects of mental health problems.
The initiative was organised by Linwood-based Youth Interventions, a collective of youth workers, recovery practitioners and psychotherapists who specialise in the mental wellbeing of young people aged 11-25, and their families.
