Community Mental Health Exhibition.

Sometimes families need a bit of support, they engage in a therapeutic process & work really hard. My family has done this kind of work and continue to engage with it. I have a Fine Art background, so when my family was no longer in crisis I celebrated our conclusions with services by putting on an exhibition. I want to share this type of celebration with other families like mine. I want to give those families the same feelings of pride and accomplishment that I got from not only no longer being in crisis. Giving the work  done the platform it deserves to be appreciated. This project has the capacity to engage with the wider community, as an audience and by providing educational and therapeutic workshops.

The funds raised here  will be used for  professional framing and labeling the various work supplied by Art therapists, by the families they have or are about to conclude their journey with.   Bringing the work into an art gallery giving the art and the hard work done with it a spot light.  I want to honour this elevation and value the journey  by curating it in a sensitive, professional and  coherent way. Respecting the journey made and celebrating triumph. This cannot be achieved with clip frames and sticky tack.

Any additional funds raised over the goal will help towards Venue hire, workshop materials, advertisement, House keeping such as refreshments for workshops, printing of leaflets and supporting information about Finding A Voice 18. Im awaiting venue confirmation but aiming to have funds gathered ready to display work in September 2018.

Your support will mean so much, to so many families this year but will also help to capture the audience, to inspire further passion for this project. I hope to continue to  facilitate compassion and celebration for families who have been right to the edge but with support brought themselves closer together. Just as my family has done. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this & furthering our chances of success.
