Location: Hull
Campaign: To tackle the stigma attached to mental ill health

I know people who have experienced mental health conditions and it can be an extremely lonely place.

But what often makes things harder is when others dismiss it as a 'phase' or mistake it for teenage angst - not fully understanding the impact it can have.

With Fixers, I want to tackle the stigma attached to mental ill health.

I want others to be more understanding when a young person has a mental health condition and for those affected to feel able to seek help.

Here is a list of Fixers helping me with this Fix:

Amethyst Saynor Kinga Szarek
Brendon Jubb Megan Duffield
Chloe Buckley Milena R
Devan Witter Rebecca Coupland
Jen Fidai Shane Camm
Tim Sovaren
