Local celebrities encourage you to ‘Reach Out’ for mental health support
In a video released today, local celebrities are encouraging people in Norfolk to ‘reach out’ for support with their mental health.
The video is part of the ‘Reach Out’ campaign, developed by the NHS Wellbeing Service in Norfolk and Waveney and is launching during Mental Health Awareness Week 10-16 May.
A poem written by Jacqui Frost from west Norfolk inspired the campaign. Jacqui contacted the Wellbeing Service when she was struggling with her mental health and wants to encourage others to do the same.
Some of the local celebrities featured in the video have struggled with their own mental health and volunteered to take part to encourage others to access the help that is out there.
