CARING and awareness-raising secondary school students have made a short film in a bid to help break the stigma surrounding mental health problems. Ten pupils at Clacton Coastal Academy, in Pathfields Road, have directed and shot a thought-provoking movie called Speak Out to mark Mental Health Week. In the clip the students, currently in Year 7, Year 10 and sixth form, are seen with tape over their mouths as they hold up cards which dispel the myths about mental health. The powerful imagery is depicted by Tyson Betts, Melisa Smith, Macey Dawson, Elouise Gee, Amy Sutton, Cordelia Kirk and Freelan Lyons. Tom Betts, Jack Harvey, and Damien Menzies also star in the film, which touches on a range of mental health challenges, such as depression, eating disorders, and anxiety.
