In 2019, I set out to write my brief for my Final Major Project. I had come across a statement from Children’s Society which stated that ‘approximately 1 in 10 school children have a diagnosable mental health condition. If young people between the ages 5 and 16 do not get the support that they need, their problems could worsen and develop into more crucial problems. and it’s vital that they get help with their issues now.’ This statement shocked me and urged me to want to help where I could. Obviously, I am not an expert
in mental well-being and I knew that I couldn’t become one over the course of this project. Therefore I decided to simply create a space which develops conversations and drives activities surrounding the issue of mental health within the younger generations, to ensure that young children are at least aware of this problem, but also to make sure that they knew that it is okay if they are struggling, that they can talk about it to somebody.
