Mental Roots bridges the worlds of visual arts, the mental health sector and education, to bring hope to ethnically diverse youth.

Birthed through the powerful medium of animation, we work with schools, families, colleges, charities and businesses to improve mental wellbeing and self-esteem in youth and young adults.
