Phil Worms, Frog Systems will be speaking at the forum on ‘Mental Health: Using the Power of the Lived Experience to communicate messages of support and hope’

Each year one in four of us in the UK experiences a mental health problem. Yet three quarters of the people with mental health problems receive no treatment and do not know where to turn to find the help they need. The current COVID-19 pandemic will exacerbate this issue.

Frog Systems has developed the world’s first dedicated mental health and wellbeing video platform which utilises the power of the lived experience to communicate positive messages of hope and support, from those that have survived to others who are facing their own personal challenges.

Recognising that video content accounts for 80% of all consumer internet traffic but is woefully ignored as a communications channel, Frog has placed film at its heart. Its Champions Cinema® contains 1000s of professionally curated videos featuring real people telling their own stories in no more than 60 seconds – covering a comprehensive range of mental health and wellbeing topics.

By harnessing the power, authenticity and relatability of lived experiences and immediately presenting routes for people to take steps to start addressing their issues, Frog aims to ignite hope and trigger early remedial action.

People perform better – at university, at work, on a sports field – when they have a purpose, are confident, motivated, and completely focused on being the best they can be. Good mental health underpins this.
