This project will aim to address some of the effects and challenges that limited awareness and understanding of heart health and mental health can have on the overall health and wellbeing of young adults. Our plan is to create a video animation that will include what effects heart health has on mental health, and vice versa, in young adults. The health messaging in the video will aim to show the effects that poor heart health can have on young adults’ mental health in the short term and what some of the effects may be in the longer-term on their brain health. Young adults will advise on all aspects of the video animation production including the storyline, moving graphics and overall, effective, and important health messaging that is to be conveyed. The purpose of this project will be to gather information on heart health and mental health messaging and awareness in young adults and provide a useful educational resource.
