It is funny how easy it is to forget what you have done.
While talking to colleagues the other day about how organisations might "kick off" a campaign around raising awareness and creating conversations about mental health, we thought how helpful it would be to have a short film to send around the organisation which, in a gentle and non threatening way lifted the lid, opened the door, or any other metaphor you want to insert, on the subject.
So off I went to have a think about putting something together. And then I remembered this - Are you ready to start the conversation? - something we put together a couple of years ago with our friends at BrightCarbon. The message is the same today as it was then - there has been much progress in the meantime and there are still many conversations that need starting.
