In our latest podcast we reflect on the launch of an exciting new arts project facilitated by the Good Shepherd with thanks to a grant from Arts Council England.
The new project will see a series of different workshops staged at the Newhampton Arts Centre, all building up to a big exhibition during Recovery Month in September both at the NAC and also the Mander Centre.
With the first group of sessions now completed, the Good Shepherd's Community & Engagement Worker Kate Penman was delighted to be joined by artist and University of Wolverhampton Masters student Charlotte Webb, and a participant in the project Sally.
All three shared their own stories around mental health challenges and recovery, and looked back on five incredible weeks which illustrated - quite literally - just how positive a role art can play in people's lives.
