What's the first word that comes to mind when you hear ‘animation’? For some, it's cartoons for kids. Colourful, cute, a nice-to-look-at video and nothing more. But some people already know; animation is far more than that.

A mental health animation explainer video is a short, animated film that takes difficult psychological subjects – things like anxiety, depression, or emotional wellbeing – and turns them into clear, friendly visual stories anyone can follow.
