| Each secondary school will be given a hand stamp to use on the day... students will be asked to demonstrate their commitment to stamping our mental health stigma by stamping a mental health message on their hand. |

We will be launching balloons and bubbles from over 40 different schools, colleges and community settings at 12 midday. |
| Thanks to sponsorship by Nationwide Building Society, every single secondary school form tutor in Northamptonshire will be provided with a (beach ball style) tutorial ball for use in form tutor time, at the end of any lesson or as a dedicated part of a lesson. The ball will have questions on it, with many being linked to feelings and emotions that can be thrown around the room as a group exercise to encourage discussion and mental health and emotional well-being. |
