Entertainment - Mind Media Awards 2016 Winner

Loose Women, ITV

Loose Women's 'Lighten the Load' campaign challenges the stigma that surrounds mental health by encouraging people to talk and share their experiences. They discuss topics such as: how to cope after suicide in the family; post-natal depression; depression after a relationship breakup; and spotting signs of anxiety in children.

"It was wonderful to see the presenter Andrea opening up about her experiences of post-natal depression. It's a good campaign with personal stories which are very effective."
