Art workshops for people with lived experience

In May 2024, Expert by Experience Lorna Collins and Artist Jo Doll ran art workshops for people with lived experience of brain injury or brain impacting health conditions  in Yorkshire and Buckinghamshire. These events explored creative expression and storytelling, responding to brain injury, trauma and mental health. Each session included opportunities for participants to immerse and connect with nature, watch scenes from the project film, and respond creatively using different art materials and mediums. The aim of these workshops was to open a creative platform, supporting participants to share their views and express their own unique experiences, in a safe, accessible setting.

In July, we ran two further art workshops at the Harbour Gallery in Jersey.  See the pages under ‘Creativity’ for details about all these art workshops, in Bucks, Yorkshire and Jersey.
