In this session, we turned our attention to Mental Health: When you hear the phrase “mental wellbeing,” what’s the first idea, metaphor, or image that comes to mind? What is one small habit or practice that helps you feel better during a stressful week?
This meetup featured a poetry performance from Dev, a poet from Birmingham who uses his own experiences in life to deep dive, process and spread awareness of mental health difficulties. Having lived through a multitude of traumatic events, Dev believes that it is now his time to pass on the same support and encouragement that he once received. Being an artist and musician too, he says "Using creativity in a variety of ways can allow you to understand yourself on a deeper level. It forces you to face more challenges but to also appreciate the journey of solving them as well" - Dev
The event took place at BRIG Café at The Warehouse, located in the Birmingham city centre. The ambiancewas perfect for connecting with others who, like you, are searching for deeper understanding and meaningful connections.
The topics were engaging and the performance was great!
We look forward to seeing you at the next one!
