Let's Talk
Phase is a charity born out of schools work by Churches Together in Hitchin. They work alongside young people in Hitchin to promote wellbeing and resilience, providing support, encouragement and helping equip them for the future.
They have made a series of short films called "Let's Talk", aimed at encouraging conversations about key mental health topics. So far the series contains films on:
-
Misconceptions about mental health
-
Self-Harm
-
Anxiety
-
Mindfulness
The films are free to view on Youtube. Each film creatively touches on a subject and is intended as a conversation starter. Phase believe that increased awareness, understanding and communication about these issues will help to break down stigmas and encourage people to access support.
There are also free education packs available for each film containing resources that can equip people to continue the conversation.
Here's a sample - the video on Misconceptions:
