ITV2 has announced a new digital series that will focus on mental wellbeing and how people cope during low moments.
The series will encourage young people aged 16-34 to embrace ways that help them get through life’s tough times.
How We Move will see the UK’s Youth Mental Health Ambassador Dr Alex George discover the different ways in which people handle dark points in their life.
Influencers, broadcasters and actors from different cultures and communities will discuss their quirky coping mechanisms.
In the first episode, Dr George will speak to actress Evanna Lynch about how she likes to do handstands and read mundane Amazon product reviews to cope with hard times.
YouTuber Riyadh Khalaf will discuss how singing show tunes to his cat and plane spotting helps him handle stressful periods.
The digital series is part of ITV2’s partnership with mental health charity Campaign Against Living Miserably, which is on a mission to instigate 5 million actions to help 16-34 year olds cope better with life’s highs and lows.
Dr Alex George commented: “I think over the last couple of years we’ve all learnt how important it is to take care of ourselves and our mental health.
“We often think of self-care as doing things like having a bath or going for a walk but in truth self-care is individual and unique to every person. Ultimately it's about doing what gets you through. I hope viewers and listeners will enjoy each episode and take something away that helps them with their self-care.”
Episodes of How We Move will be released monthly on ITV2’s YouTube channel.
