VIDEO: The Rubberbandits guide to mental health is an absolute must watch

An important issue dealt with brilliantly.

If you’ve been keeping a close eye on the rhetoric and discussion surrounding mental health in the last few weeks then you’ll know that The Rubberbandits are two of the most articulate and passionate people on the issue. Aside from their irreverent and brilliant take on the Easter Rising commemorations, the two men have also done their very best to reduce the stigma that’s attached to talking about the issue of mental health.

Joe.ie shared a mental health and anxiety article on fb. Zero comments, not one. What does that tell you about Irish lads and vulnerability?

Their latest effort deserves to be seen by as many people as possible though because in typical Rubberbandits fashion, they’ve managed to mix the surreal with the very serious.

Take a look as they somehow manage to combine the idea of Gerry Adams, slow motion dogs and getting kicked in the balls with a rousing plea towards changing the Irish cultural and political psyche on the issue of mental health.
