Winning HeARTS and Minds during Mental Health Awareness Week (18 to 24 May 2020)
Winning HeARTS and Minds during Mental Health Awareness Week (18 to 24 May 2020) Lifespace Trust and Escape Arts, Stratford based charities, are co-hosting an online art gallery (Instagram @hearts_and_minds_gallery) for children and young people to share their collective creativity around the theme #KindnessMatters during #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. https://www.instagram.com/hearts_and_minds_gallery/ The organisers of Mental Health Awareness Week, the Mental Health Foundation, replaced the planned theme of sleep with kindness when research showed that protecting our mental health will be central to coping with and recovering from the Coronavirus pandemic - with psychological and social impacts that are likely to outlast the physical symptoms of the virus. Kindness strengthens relationships, develops community and deepens shared understanding, critical to the mental health of individuals and the wider community.
