Reaching out

I would like to raise mental health awareness. As author and founder of the www.scriptureofbalance.co.uk/ I have published three self-help books and a website and am continuously blogging about my mental health journey. It has been shared on my NHS profile website.

I had not picked up a brush since I was 8 years old. I did a research project with the ERA in 'Art Therapy' for Mental Health, and I found it very rewarding and have not put the brush down since. I also use it on social media to encourage others to create something they find hard to talk about.
(https://www.facebook.com/groups/495765142605845) I believe everyone's voice should be heard and if not, their creativity will speak.

I believe that we should have funding to set up some workshops to enable our young people to be able to express themselves through art to encourage them to show others that there is another way to let out the frustrations of life.

Give them the opportunity to activate the skills that they already have and to pass this down to the next generation.
