There appears to be a cultural shift with 2017 being a tipping point for breaking down mental health stigma. Individuals from a wide range of disciplines are passionately getting involved with projects helping to weave the subject of mental wellbeing into everyday culture. Developed by individuals displaying creativity, compassion, energy and drive.

My aim for Spotlight Q&A is to speak with these special people to find out where their passion comes from, their goals, and how through their unique individual stories they themselves find balance, manage worry and find peace in our always connected society.

Spotlight Q&A is a long running project aiming to collate real, raw response which can work to inform, inspire and soothe the reader. I felt that drilling down to find out what specifically helps those who have shown great passion for the subject would be tremendous benefit to all.

An eclectic mix have participated in the project from creative directors, writers, journalists, videographers, therapists and entrepreneurs.
