Understanding mental health support: Isorropia Foundation’s innovative short film project

Isorropia Foundation are pleased to announce the release of a short film aimed at enhancing the understanding of mental health support available on the Isle of Wight.

With approximately one in six people experiencing moderate to severe depression in any given year, and roughly one in six people experiencing some form of anxiety in any given year, it’s becoming increasingly important to know what support is available.

Addresses mental health challenges
The film, made possible through the generous funding of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Community Foundation, underscores Isorropia Foundation’s commitment to addressing mental health challenges on the Island.

By partnering with key stakeholders including IOW NHS Mental Health Services, Two Saints, IOW Youth Trust, Working Towards Wellbeing and Aspire, the short video offers practical insight on how and where to access mental health support.

Watch the film
Islanders can view the film by visiting the YouTube Channel, or visiting the Isorropia Foundation website.

You can also watch it on their Facebook Page, or through their Instagram account.
