Local mental health
organisations team up for moving educational video
2 of Wirral's largest mental health
support organisations, Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
(CWP) and The Open Door Centre, have launched:- "The Big Life Film"
project; a short video raising awareness and challenging stigma around the
emotional difficulties faced by many young people.
The video; created collaboratively with a group of young people in Wirral
currently receiving support from mental health services; offers an
experience based insight into the common issues affecting the emotional
wellbeing of young people in the local community and beyond. It also
provides information about the different options available to those who are
struggling to cope with mental health challenges.
Alastair Pipkin, assistant psychologist in
CWP's Wirral Early Intervention Team, said:- "The film represents a
normalising view of the human condition incorporating a psychological
approach with the 1st hand experiences of young people. It is part of our
ongoing efforts to destigmatise mental health by challenging the
longstanding sense that experiencing difficulties is unusual or something to
be ashamed of and we are very proud to have been led by the young people who
participated in the project."
The film is part of an ongoing awareness programme currently being delivered
by CWP's Early Intervention Team in local schools across the Wirral. The
programme is designed to educate school aged young people incorporating a
peer-led approach.
Valerie Oldham, assistant head teacher at Woodchurch High School; 1 of the
Wirral schools that CWP delivers its mental health awareness programme
said:- "I really liked the film and thought it was very powerful. It
gives pupils the opportunity to listen to some 1st hand experiences around a
number of issues. I thought it gives lots of advice, emphasised the
importance of talking to people and reinforced that there is support
available."
The Big Life Film is available to see on
CWP's Early Intervention
website.

Did you witness a
serious assault in Southport Town Centre in December 2015?
MERSEYSIDE Police Detectives, in
Southport, are appealing for witnesses to a serious assault, which happened
in the Town, to come forward. Several people rushed to the aid of the victim
after he was punched to the floor and kicked repeatedly by his attacker. The
'good Samaritans' were sat on a bench on Lord Street, close to the junction
with Seabank Road and the old Grand Casino, when the assault occurred at
around 1am, 16 December 2016. The 57 year old victim suffered a broken jaw,
cuts to his face and several of his teeth were knocked out during the
assault.
Following the attack the offender fled in a silver coloured car with several
other people inside. The people sat on the bench then went to the victim's
aid. They called an Ambulance and stayed with him until Paramedics arrived.
Officers from the force have made enquiries in the area and arrested a 41
year old local man at his home address on suspicion of assault and affray.
He was interviewed by detectives the following day and released on Police
Bail pending further enquiries.
Officers are keen for the 2 people who were sat on the bench and went to the
victim's aid to come forward as they may have information that could help
Police progress the investigation. If you can help, please call Sefton CID
on:- 0151 777 3059 or phone Crimestoppers anonymously on:- 0800 555 111.
