THE LOOP

The Loop is an innovative project designed to challenge the stigma and discrimination that surrounds mental distress, and help young people develop tolerance and respect for diversity.

It is a series of 18 digital stories screened on a dedicated website and made with young people who have experienced emotional distress first hand. The films were made over 5 daily workshops, and tell the stories of the young people’s emotional lives, their coping strategies and hopes for the future. They tell their stories in their own words, using their own choice of images (pictures, music, audio, photos, drawings). The website includes a game to test your awareness of mental health issues.
