It\u2019s a National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR)-funded collaboration with Oxford University. At the heart of ORIGIN is a deceptively simple question: Can exposure to arts, culture, and storytelling improve young people\u2019s mental health?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>A Personal Mission<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Beth Hopwood of the creative group understands just how vital mental wellbeing is and how easily it can be forgotten amid work and stress; she is learning to live with anxiety herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cMy boss mentioned Mental Health Awareness Week was coming up, and I just thought: let\u2019s do something real,\u201d she says. \u201cI think people spend too much time at their desks, which is understandable &#8211; but it\u2019s so easy to forget how healing it is to step outside, connect with nature, and just breathe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">With around 15 people participating, her idea led to a modest but meaningful walk in Sheffield\u2019s natural beauty. Beth handled everything, from marketing materials to route planning, and saw the event as a gentle reminder that nature, while not a cure for all problems, is a valuable resource for our health that we often take for granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cIt\u2019s about showing people that the world won\u2019t end if you take a few hours off,\u201d she explains. \u201cBreaks are vital. And mental health matters just as much as physical health &#8211; something we\u2019re still learning to accept, especially in the workplace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>If you&#8217;re enjoying this article, read about the people changing mental health crisis responses <a href=\"https:\/\/theoptimistmagazine.co.uk\/2025\/05\/23\/the-people-changing-mental-health-response-to-crisis\/\">here<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Telling Stories, Changing Minds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The walk wasn\u2019t just about stepping away from screens and starting conversations. She is a journalism graduate from the University of Sheffield, working alongside poets, folklorists, and other creatives on ORIGIN\u2019s upcoming online museum. She and her team hope to create an intervention that uses stories from archives and human connection to help young people process their struggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">For Beth, the topic is deeply personal. Diagnosed with ADHD at 21, a condition often misunderstood and underdiagnosed in women, she believes that more open dialogue around mental health could have made a real difference earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cIt led to a lot of anxiety and difficulty at school,\u201d she says. \u201cI think if we talked about mental health more in schools, universities, and workplaces, I wouldn\u2019t have been diagnosed so late.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">She\u2019s not alone. Many people Beth knows have faced mental health struggles, but have felt ashamed to speak up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cThey worry they\u2019ll be seen as \u2018dramatic\u2019 or \u2018pathetic\u2019. Weeks like this remind them, you\u2019re not alone. It\u2019s not pathetic to struggle. It\u2019s human.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>A National Concern<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Her message resonates in a country where mental health issues are increasingly prevalent. Recent national statistics paint a concerning picture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Loneliness is affecting millions across the UK, with far-reaching consequences for mental health. It\u2019s not just a fleeting emotion, it&#8217;s a widespread issue with profound implications. One in four adults report feeling lonely some or all of the time, and among those who are chronically lonely, 60% struggle with mental distress. Perhaps most alarmingly, 12% of adults say they\u2019ve had suicidal thoughts linked to feelings of loneliness. According to the Mental Health Foundation&#8217;s 2022 report, these figures act as a stark outline of the urgent need to address loneliness as a significant public health concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Research has found that depression may be misdiagnosed in 30-50% of female patients, and with 1 in 5 women having a mental health problem such as depression or anxiety, the possibility for misdiagnosis grows increasingly concerning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">These statistics underscore the importance of initiatives like Beth\u2019s walk, which encourage individuals to take a break and connect with nature, foster community and open dialogue about mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>A Gentle Reminder<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Asked what she\u2019d say to someone who\u2019s struggling, Beth is gentle but firm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cMental health is just as important as physical health. It\u2019s okay to take a step back. Give yourself a break. Speak to someone you trust; they\u2019re going through something too. And most of all: it does get better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In a world that celebrates productivity and overlooks rest, sometimes the simplest gestures, a walk, a conversation, a shared moment in nature, can spark the most significant change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beth Hopwood leads a community mental health walk to commemorate Mental health Awareness week, bringing people closer together<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":1606,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[28,83,139,40,62,67,82],"class_list":["post-1419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community","tag-community","tag-heartwarming","tag-mental-health","tag-nature","tag-optimism","tag-passion","tag-support"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
