In their quest to normalize conversations around mental health, multi stakeholder projects, Heartstrings & Heartbeats has brought together scores of creatives from all walks of life to relay mental health messages through a social media challenge. The challenge is fast gaining traction, sparking and triggering dialogues on issues of mental health among creative people and the communities they live in.

“The social media challenge encourages people to speak out. Mental illness is not reserved for a certain group of people, everyone is going through it. Part of the project is to ensure that there is a safe space to speak about mental health without being harshly judged or looked down upon,” said the project’s co-founder from Infers Group, Abraham Mamela.

Mamela also said the challenge is to encourage creatives mostly or those who find themselves working in a job that requires them to use their imagination to share their thoughts on mental health and their experiences if they are comfortable to talk. “We hope that this movement will be able to attract the right people and collaborators as well as people accepting that mental health is part of life.
