This documentary offers valuable insights into the experiences of the people of North Tyneside.

Why it's a great idea:
"The Ripple Effect" documentary offers a range of benefits to the North Tyneside community. By shedding light on the impact of poor mental health on young people, the film will increase awareness and understanding of this important issue. It will also help to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and encourage more open and honest conversations about mental health challenges. By highlighting the resilience of the community and showcasing valuable support services, the film will inspire positive action towards improving mental health services and support for young people. Additionally, by providing a platform for young people to share their experiences and have their voices heard, the film can empower and validate the perspectives of these individuals. Overall, "The Ripple Effect" has the potential to promote greater understanding, awareness, and action around mental health in North Tyneside.
Steps to get it done:
We believe strongly in preventative mental health support being the answer to an ongoing crisis. Directed by Ellen Bridget, 17 year old film and media student with lived experiences of mental health, the documentary will provide her with a platform to showcase her excellent work and help excel her career. We are passionate about the heritage and the talent within North Tyneside, The Ripple Effect will draw upon local artists for the soundtrack to make this a true North Tyneside piece. We also hope “The Ripple Effect” will help statutory services and local authorities shape future services based on the needs of the community and highlight how the voluntary sector can help reduce the ripple effect of poor mental health. Our aim is to inspire positive action towards improving mental health services and support for young people.

The rising national crisis is evident, with frequent news reports on the state of children's mental health services. Across the country, the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) are reporting waiting lists of up to 3 years. This has to change if we are to gain control over this heart-breaking situation. The third sector is becoming more crucial in supporting statutory services to ensure mental health problems can be addressed early to avoid long term implications on communities.
We believe NO child should have to reach crisis point before accessing mental health support.
All of our services are designed to support the challenges families face. We therefore include poverty support in our approach, as this is a leading factor in mental health problems in the communities we reach.
We work with statutory services, the local authority and the voluntary sector to identify gaps in provision and to assist the many families who often have nowhere else to turn.
