Meet Erin and Hank
This week is Children’s Mental Health Week – a time to shine a spotlight on the importance of children and young people’s mental health.
Around five children in every classroom have a mental health problem and many more struggle with challenges from bullying to bereavement.
Children’s Mental Health Week was launched in 2015 to empower, equip and give a voice to every child in the UK. This year’s theme is ‘my voice matters’.
The aim of this special mental health week is to encourage more people than ever to help reach the goal that no child or young person has to face a mental health problem alone.
Hear from our very own Erin and Hank as they talk about their mental health in our short clip below and show your support @OxleasNHS and with the hashtag #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek.

Filming and photography requests
We receive documentary, location and broadcast filming requests on a regular basis – we consider all proposals on an individual basis and will try to accommodate proposals where possible, if appropriate.
No photography or filming is permitted without prior arrangement and agreement. Our patients always come first and we have a duty to protect their safety and confidentiality. Anyone found filming or taking photographs on the trust premises without the permission of the trust’s communications team will be asked to leave by the security department and may face prosecution.
Unless agreed otherwise, film crews and photographers must be accompanied by a member of the Communications Team at all times.
