Today we had a meeting with the client Rochdale Mind. We met John who runs it and Teegan who is a volunteer. I learnt that rochdale mind have more of a creative approach and have art classes, music classes and a garden allotment. From this meeting, the things that stood out to me the most was that people are reluctant to talk about the issue, even though talking is the main solution. I asked John and Teegan what advice they would give to someone that thinks they have an issue and are afraid to talk about it. They said that the first step wouldn't be to go to mind, it would be to talk about it to someone you can trust.
The answer to this question really helped me think more about possible video ideas. The meeting was really interesting and has helped me a lot to develop my ideas. I didn't fully understand what Mind did until talking to John and Teegan and I couldn't really come up with any good ideas for an advert, but now I have a better understanding and have learnt a lot from this session.
