Come and join us to face these challenges together in a safe(r), brave(r), and non-threatening space. We want to create an environment where we can explore who we are, what we want to say, how to claim ownership of the space we occupy, and how to set healthy boundaries.
We Are Heard! is produced by Mental Creations, a disabled-led non-profit organisation providing mental health support through the arts to underserved and underrepresented groups; in partnership with St Margaret’s House.
The project is made possible with the support of National Lottery funding.
