11 different free family-friendly art inspired posters have been created by local artists to encourage young people to ‘reach out’ for support.
We've teamed up once again with the Herefordshire and Worcestershire NHS Trust to find 11 artists who have created family-friendly art inspired posters that aim to encourage young people to ‘reach out’ for support. Each poster represents the theme of communities, connectiveness, support and diversity and goes along side the launch of a new song by local band Split Second written about their own experiences with mental health.
Split Second are made up of 15 and 16-year-olds from across the county who have teamed up with the Trust who are the main provider of mental health services across both counties. The song, Reach Out, along with the posters encourages people to talk if they are struggling with their mental health, or know someone who is, and to access to help and support available.
