This campaign, the #1in4, is a mental health movement. It originates from the statistic that mental health will have an effect on one in four people in their lifetime. It is much the same as the Heads Together campaign, leaded by Prince Harry, Prince William and Kate Middleton. The #1in4 campaign is looking forward to break the stigma around mental health and open a discussion in order to encourage people to talk about their mental health problems.
