Mind your Head
Mind Your Head follows the story of three young people who each live with a mental illness, but are at different stages of acceptance, surviving, coping and recovery. As Rhonda is bullied and slips into depression, Issy has yet to accept that she has a problem with bulimia, and Ben lives with the schizophrenia he has learnt to control. Young people are given the chance to see different perspectives, and the characters’ relationships both reveal ways of dealing with illnesses and show long term positive outcomes.
The hour long performances were combined with workshops lead by the cast, giving the young people an invaluable opportunity to express their opinions, and expand their education through drama.
