︎︎︎ Young Minds UK x Livity - Crushed By A Million Pressures
The youth mental health crisis isn’t caused by one thing – it’s a million issues that add up to one huge problem.
Young Minds UK partnered with Livity to bring attention to this crisis to create Crushed by a Million Pressures. Part of this campaign included working with over 1000 young people on an installation in Kings Cross, representing this overwhelming crisis. It may look like a pile of rubbish, but each piece represents a real pressure on young people.
From the cost-of-living crisis, to never-ending waiting lists, to a school system that doesn’t understand you. These pressures have led to a mental health crisis so severe that 1.3 million young people were referred to mental health services last year – up 71% in 5 years.
As a former mentee of Livity’s In Future List 2023, I designed one of the postcards for the installation, reflecting on the anxieties of the digital age
