What is it like to step into the shoes of a person who has experienced a mental health illness? What does it feel like to deal with it, on the inside?
In collaboration with InnerHour, we are bringing to you a one of a kind monologue show of real stories and real people curated by Sheena Khalid.Connect with the very personal stories of individuals who have lived these experiences of mental illnesses, and how they've dealt with them. Maybe you'll come to relate more than you think?
You also get to take away many learnings for your mental health care from a workshop on 'What My Pain Is Telling Me" conducted by Pratishtha Trivedi Mirza and a movement and verbal expression workshop conducted by Sanchana Krishnan to connect with the performers + people with lived experiences. These interactive workshops aim to help participants understand difficult emotions such as sadness, grief and anger, and to explore self-help strategies to manage them better and to become more self aware. This will also include an interactive discussion of coping mechanisms and later writing a story of how a particular struggle could be better dealt with their choice of a coping mechanism.
