Stories are for Sharing: A celebration of our lived, and living, experiences of mental health and neurodivergence III

This workshop is all about celebrating our unique stories, identities, and experiences through zines: personalised tools for self-expression, creative activism, and community-building. Whether you're a seasoned zine maker or a complete beginner, this event is for you! Get ready to connect with like-minded individuals and to learn from those different to you, share your stories, and explore your identity. All materials provided!

What do we mean by 'mental health'? What does it mean to be 'neurodivergent'? Every day we hear about what we are and what we're not, but we think that the best people to tell our stories are ourselves. Come join us at Peckham Levels for a celebration of YOUR lived, and living, experiences of mental health and neurodivergence! Unleash your inner storyteller as we dive into the world of zine making.

We will be joined by several experts by experience, who live with mental health and/or neurodivergent conditions, who will be co-facilitating the event alongside Gabrielle (Gabi) Nieuwoudt (she/her). Gabi has hosted several workshops and events centring wellbeing, intersectional identities, and lived experience(s) of mental health and/or neurodivergence, and has recently fallen in love with zines as a tool for self-expression.  

Open to all

This event will be of particular interest to those who live with a mental health condition and/or are neurodivergent, and/or their carers.
