Changing Faces is about changing attitudes, changing discrimination and changing lives for the better!
Changing Faces will focus on the different ways that that people with Mental Health problems wear a mask to protect themselves and their family from the social stigma felt by sufferers.
The aim of the project will be to help raise that mask and encourage people with Mental Health problems to talk openly and honestly about their issues in order for them to build belief and confidence in themselves.
We want to interview and film people with mental health problems and show how they have been coping with their problems whilst working/training and raising a family. All too often, people with mental health problems face stigma. We want to show that they can achieve many things without their lives being written off and can be successful.
We’d like to create a film that will encourage people with mental health problems to come forward and speak about their problems in order to encourage others.
We also want to find people’s stories and poems and put together an eBook featuring them and showcasing the talent!
