Reflections Identity Workshop
A workshop for people who feel they have issues with identity. A space to explore who we are, who we want to be or who we want to stop being . Trauma both in childhood and as adults can cause us to lose our sense of self, this workshop is a great chance to play with this issue in a safe and non-threatening way in order to help begin to find yourself again or to figure out who you are after difficult times.

Living with Labels
These themed workshops are for those living with psychiatric diagnoses. It is an opportunity to explore, with others who share the label, how the diagnosis influences our live, behaviour, how we see ourselves and how others see us in a non-threatening way using creative methods such as photography and art. No prior experience of creativity is required, all materials provided except cameras so bring your camera or mobile phones if the session is a photography one. Sessions are facilitated by Sandy, mental health expert and previously labelled individual, and either Paul if photography or a person with the same label.

Really valued Sandra's experience from within such a variety of roles. The small group discussions were much easier to navigate than sharing with a whole group so this worked well. 2024
