How does your work champion youth mental health? 

I use the body and creativity to help people express, process and connect, offering closed workshops and open exhibitions to engage the community in conversations and creative tools to approach their individual and community mental health.

Youth mental health conversations are important as it brings people together encouraging community support, and preventing future mental health struggles and isolation.

Share a bit about what you’re bringing to REWIRE?

I will be bringing with me my creative practice, experiences and an openness to learn, listen and connect.

In the chaos and business of everyday life you are invited to join this workshop where you will be guided through gentle body somatic movements and free hand drawing as an approach to tapping into art of self-care and kindness in a safe and welcoming space.
