To see the impact that the arts can have in a therapeutic way, we have included several case studies of special individuals. These people have found many benefits from working with us and want to help us share the message of how powerful drama can be.

Sue is one of our beneficiaries from Care Merseyside. We met Sue back in September 2019, and we have watched her excel in so many ways since then.

DECLAN'S STORY...
Declan was another volunteer for our male mental health verbatim project. Declan spoke up for the first ever time about his mental health struggles when we interviewed him.

To find out more about Declan's journey, watch this video of us talking on Mindset by Dave's Podcast...

Molly is a young person who we met when facilitating our exploring emotions workshop. Molly found a release when she performed and found it easier to express how she felt through acting than verbally.
We had the opportunity to talk about Molly's experience on Radio City Talk's Mental Health Monday.
