Creative approaches

Creative approaches, when carefully and deliberately facilitated, can offer a way to explore, understand and tackle mental health stigma and discrimination in what can often be a safer and more cathartic space.

Working with partners over several years we have supported and developed approaches to creative engagement including: the See Me Anti-Stigma Arts Fund, commissioning creative projects and supporting See Me volunteers to develop their own creative projects.

The conversations, relationships, tools and artwork that have been created through these projects have profoundly helped to develop our understanding of intersectional stigma and how we speak about it and tackle it.
