In its second iteration Mental Health Response Received was facilitated by Jonny Waters, Elliot Phillips and Pru Jopson. An open call was sent out to the community where people responded with compassion, with force and with courage, no matter what their chosen art form was. Mental Health Response Received was a way to elaborate and work with the ideology of removing stigma surrounding mental health struggles. Mental Health Response Received was an accessible and all-inclusive safe space for people to share creative ways of overcoming their own struggles or tell the stories of ones that have gone on around them that ultimately affected who they are today. As individuals, we are brave and courageous, but as a community we are unbreakable and together we can overcome anything.
