Kaylen Frances is a young actor and film maker. His short mental Health Awareness Film features a young man who is struggling with depression.
According to leading mental health charity MIND, evidence shows that black men are far more likely than others to be diagnosed with severe mental health problems and are also far more likely to a be sectioned under the Mental Health Act. However, up until 11 years old, Black boys don't have poorer mental health than others of their age.
Why is this?
The charity states that there are multiple reasons for this, including stigma, cultural barriers, and systemic discrimination, all of which are more directly experienced by black boys and young black men as they get older.
What can be done?
With the help of sponsorship we can get this short film into the community to raise awareness about Mental Health, especially amongst men, we want it to encourage discussion and compel individuals that need help, as well as family members and carers to seek advice and information.
