Journeys Through Mental Health - Tia's Story

'Journeys Through Mental Health’ was EachOther’s first comic strip, created out of conversations we’d been having with young people with lived experience of mental health issues. It was illustrated by the amazing Sabba Khan and made in partnership with Richmond Fellowship.

The comic features the stories of Marcus, Tia and Ray - all of whom experience different struggles with their mental health, but each of them have found their own way through.

This is an animated version of Tia's story. Tia experience a lot of loss when she was younger, but by finally getting diagnosed, she managed to find the support she needed to get through.

Please note that Tia's story contains references to infant death, bereavement, suicide and depression and may be triggering for some people.

If you've been struggling with any issues raised in this animation, you can access a range of resources and organisations on our spotlight page www.eachother.org.uk/young-people-and-mental-health

EachOther is a UK-focused charity that uses independent journalism, story-telling and film-making to put the human into human rights. The digital content we produce is grounded in the lived experience of ordinary people affected by human rights issues. We involve them in the process of developing their stories, rather than talking for or over them. Theirs are the voices we platform and amplify to our lay audience of over a million viewers each year. In this way, we hope to grow public support for human rights here in the UK.
