The inspirational event was part of 24-year-old Hussain’s ongoing efforts to end the stigma of mental health.
Hussain said: “We’re over the moon to set this Guinness World Records title. Growing up in this day and age can be difficult. Young people nowadays have new challenges to contend with like social media, body image and physical appearance and cyber bullying. Mental health education is crucial to help many get through the early stages of their life and I am a great believer in this being put on the national syllabus. But for now, I can claim to have set the record for the world’s largest mental health lesson but I’m not going to stop here.”
As part of the event, Hussain performed a poem called “I’m Ashamed” from his upcoming EP that will be released during Mental Health Awareness Week in May.
