Michael House resident opens up about mental health with ‘My Gremlin’ short

A HOMELESS shelter in Boscombe has created a short film to help raise awareness of World Homeless Day and World Mental Health Day.

The poem, called My Gremlin, was written by Katie, a resident at Michael House, with staff from Michael House animating Katie’s drawing of her gremlin to bring the poem to life.

Speaking at the end of the video, Katie said: “By drawing him and creating a poem about him helped me to focus on the fact that I have got hopes for the future and he is something that is in the past.
