Going To Be Campaign

SAMH's new campaign - Going To Be

Our new campaign is all about children and young people's mental health. Three children in every class will have experienced mental health problems by the time they're 16. And thousands will struggle to get the help they need. It's got to change and with your help it can.

Growing up, we all thought about what we were going to be as adults. It was a magical time when almost anything was possible. An inventor, a drummer, a motorbike racer - the possibilities were endless. Our campaign films feature three young people dreaming about their future, and acknowledging that this future may include a mental health problem.
