Happy Chappies !!

This is our board to show that we as a group would like to make a service for people with mental health problems. We have decided to research more into Postnatal Depression as we have had a lot of feedback from our Facebook page from women who are dealing with this problem.

We would like to help these women deal with this mental health problem and help them carry on with their everyday life, not feeling as though they cant talk about this issue because it is ‘taboo’.

Our facebook page is :-  https://www.facebook.com/HappyChappies13 

Here is our board pictures so far:

 

Our concept is to create public art based around Postnatal Depression. Asking sufferers to help us produce the art and ask their children to come along and help out too.

We want to promote Postnatal Depression as a positive not as a negative thing. It should no longer be something we don’t talk about. There is nothing wrong with having this mental health problem and there is certainly nothing wrong with you.

We believe that this will be a bonding experience, not just having a positive effect on the mother but also on the children and the public. It doesn’t to just go away, it can follow you throughout your life.

The art work is a chance for the women to get back in touch and reminisce with their inner child, to create a happiness that they can always see. Our service will hopefully progress into creating “products” to help people deal with Postnatal Depression at home as well as publicly.
