"Crafting is my therapy" is something I hear as a craft group leader day in day out - card making, sewing, crochet, knitting, embroidery...the list is endless!
Throughout the process of starting different groups we have found that beautiful conversations are opened up while crafting, it makes conversations less daunting, it makes it less scary. I am privileged to volunteer in our community and I think showing people that talking about mental health doesn't have to be as scary as they may think it sounds. It's possible to express everything you want to say through designs, creations and crafts.
The event will be a full day of different crafting taster sessions in which people will be able to explore the joys of different crafts while also having discussions and speakers who will encourage these topics of conversation and sign post anyone who needs it onto other services within our area.
