A flash mob in Museum Square this afternoon had some public officials showing off some dance moves. It was in support of Mental Health Week. The dancing was led by the "Dynamic Dozen", who have produced a series of video's aimed at youth to promote "Bouncing Back" from adversity. Project Coordinator Danielle Carr says hopes the message was as dynamic as the dancing. "You know, being able to express yourself in a way that you feel safe and free to do so, we find is a very helpful tool for allowing young people to overcome some of their barriers and some of the adversities that they face." Today's program was put together by the Student Support Leadership Initiative, made up of over 50 community partners from Oxford, London-Middlesex and Elgin. Executive Director of the Mental Health Association of Oxford County, Mike McMahon is part of that group, who says he would have like to see a younger crowd at today's event. "I do like to see more young people in attendance. I think that's the challenge of today, to reach the young people you really have to be creative. But because of the effort that was made in the on-line environment, young people were contacted." The Dynamic Dozen's videos are being released each day this week, as well a social media campaign using the hashtag #bounceback, looked to reach the youth through Twitter. Green wrist bands were handed out to all students in local schools today, promoting the "Bounce Back" theme, along with a mental health website, and number for kids help phone.
