Description

The Shift Mental Health forum was a one day event where 12 teens came together to discuss and express their experiences. The teens were supported by mental health professionals to ‘Let it Out’ and producers who aimed to Shift the conversation surrounding the topic.

Project SCOPE
  • Invite teens who had suffered trauma around mental health.
  • Promote a healthy forum for the teens to discuss their issues amongst each other.
  • Encouraged healing via empathy and understanding.
  • Capture the forum on film so that it could be shared with other teens who felt similarly and to give them an opportunity to seek support.
