We hear a lot these days about the importance of mental health. Yet, unlike with most physical health issues, which people talk about openly and freely, discussing matters of mental health still remains taboo. That hesitation to shine a light on these conditions can only perpetuate the problem further, leaving those who are grappling with mental health issues feeling even more isolated and hopeless.
Complex is proud to partner with Well Being Trust on a special new project that helps shine a light on various mental health problems, as well as some inspiring solutions. The campaign features some very recognizable names from sports and pop culture who reveal in truly personal video interviews what their experiences dealing with mental health issues have been like. The stories go deep, tackling everything from depression to self-mutilation, and are told by the likes of Greg Oden, Abby Wambach, Channing Frye and others.
The more people talk about their stories regarding mental health, the less “off limits” it will feel.
