What is “I HOPE THIS HELPS”?

I HOPE THIS HELPS is a crowd-sourced documentary feature film project. We asked anyone to submit videos to the I HOPE THIS HELPS WEBSITE, and are currently preparing the final film.

What is the purpose of the project?

The aim of this project is to make a beautiful film that creates change: by sharing stories that help viewers through their own journey; by destigmatising mental health in society; and by inspiring new research into things that can make a difference.
