Promo for film encouraging young people to discuss mental health goes viral

A trailer promoting a mental health documentary being made by college students has been viewed 200,000 times online.

The students, Ed Maclulevicius, Cathal Murphy, Billy Twohig, and Amy O’Regan say they have been “blown away” by the support their Our Mental Health project is receiving. Mental health campaigner, Bressie, has applauded the project, which is encouraging young people to talk openly about their mental health.

Cathal Murphy says a motivation for the film was that poor mental health was “often discussed too late”, in the aftermath of suicides.
