There is a disparity between number of people with poor mental health and those prepared to get help, a charity says.
A Bristol-based mental health charity has said it wants to "remove the stigma of reaching out for help".
The charity's CEO Emma Brech said they are seeing an increase in the number of young people withdrawing from society with depression, stress and anxiety. Ahead of launching the campaign, which kicked off on 14 May and continues until 28 May, Bristol Mind worked with a small group of Bristol University students to provided some insight into issues faced by this age group.
Ms Otway, who was aided by the research team at Bristol University, said that of the 40 survey respondents, they found a big disparity between people saying they struggled with mental health and those being prepared to have counselling.
