Okkar Heimur

Mental health campaign directed at children/teenagers of parents with mental illness. I'm so happy to have gotten to be a part of this beautiful Icelandic campaign. With a tight deadline for two videos we focused on simple inclusive figures and playfulness. Director Signý Rós.

Led by Geðhjálp in Iceland. In collaboration with Our Time in the UK.

“When a parent suffers from mental illness it is rare for anyone – parent, teacher, or even social worker – to know how to discuss the illness with the child. [...] Research has shown that an estimated 2.9 million young people live with parents who have symptoms of anxiety and depression. [...] Our Time is campaigning for and supporting these young people to ensure they get the right help early on and to prevent them from becoming patients themselves.”
