The #BounceNotBreak campaign video features resilience tips from the likes of comedian Josh Widdecombe, Southampton FC footballer Oriol Romeu, Summerland Actor Lucas Bond, Welsh International Rugby player Hallam Amos, Ex Man Utd player Luke Chadwick, Black Mirror Actor Georgina Campbell, Swimmer George Taplin & more.
Further resources, including an ‘asking for help booklet’ for young people to learn about mental health conditions and how to seek help are included as part of downloadable ‘packs’ available for schools, colleges, universities, communities and workplaces on the YMHD website.
