Mental health is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realise their abilities, learn, and work well, and contribute to their community. Well-City Salisbury is about connection to the arts, to culture, to the local area, and to each other. The project supports people with low to medium mental health needs on their wellbeing journey through creative opportunities. In this talk, we will be exploring; What does mental health mean to you? Why use arts and culture to engage with people? What does a Well City look like? Join us for a discussion about the impact of creativity on individuals and the power this has on a community.
