Lynn Wardell with Justice Crisis and Outreach Services tells Heart FM they are encouraging everyone to talk about mental illness online using the Get Loud Oxford Hashtag.
"We just want people talking about mental health, talking about mental illness and we have used a band aid as a symbol this year and tearing the band aid off of mental health so that we are actually talking about it in the community."
