Taran 8 Posted June 11, 2013 Right so I don't know how many of you lovely lot have followed 'Making Mental Health Positive' on the Facebook or Twitter, however they've recently publicized a project to create a wall of art at The Lowry in Manchester ( its a posh swanky gallery, went there last year ) all themed at positive mental health. Basically the idea is for people all round the world, to create postcard size pieces of art depicting what positive mental health means to you. I've attached the information they have on their Facebook page for anyone who can't see it on there, but for those of us who have faces and books, here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=486104068135803&set=a.179982752081271.46845.122863327793214&type=1&theater I though it might be a nice idea, because it asks for organisation if appropriate, that if anyone on here does make a nice postcard that we add our name, location if you want to, and add Anxiety Central as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonathan123 2368 Posted June 12, 2013 Hi. Taran. Any, but any attempt to make the general public more aware of mental health problems has got to be good news. It still never ceases to amaze me the ignorance there is about this subject. Is it that people are afraid of it? "There but for the grace of God go I". Maybe. But it is not something to be afraid of is it. Fear engenders more fear and puts people off understanding even more. This project sounds great and if anyone of an artistic turn of mind can come up with something for AC then we should support it. Positive mental health sounds like a paradox. How can anything to do with mental health be positive? Oh yes it can, very much so. I have said before that it can change us for the better if treated in the right way. We become more aware of the suffering of others which is no bad thing. We are kinder people. We have respect for other sufferers. It can be the catalyst to bring out the best in us. Best wishes. J.
