Collaboration with UK animation studio Fred and Eric for UK Trauma Council (a project of Anna Freud's).
From Fred and Eric's official vimeo page:
Once in a while, a project comes along that not only captures our creative imagination but resonates so deeply with us, that goes beyond a usual animation commission.
When the UK Trauma Council (UKTC) - a group of childhood trauma specialists- first contacted us about working on this project, we knew instantly it was one of those jobs...The UK Trauma Council (which is a project of mental health charity, Anna Freud) got in touch after gaining funding to create an animation, specifically highlighting trauma for young people (12-21 years) impacted by war and conflict. This initiative was motivated by the devastating war in Ukraine but is sadly ever-relevant to young people from all around the world.The UKTC realised there weren't any resources specific to young people, on how to cope with negative feelings created through their lived experiences. So they wanted to commission this animation (alongside additional online resources put together by at UKTC) to help. Their aim was to use storytelling to help inform young people about common physical and emotional responses to trauma and in turn, normalise those responses and show the importance of social connections in addressing traumatic memories from the past.
