Description
Topic - Communities having Conversations about Mental Health: The Me + Mental Health Theater Production Project, by Ubuntu Mental HealthThis seminar will showcase a theatre production project, produced by members of the South Sudanese and other African Australian communities. The production, “Me + Mental Health”, takes the format of a dialogue theatre, and was initially aimed at promoting intergenerational dialogue about mental health in the community.
Whilst the initial aim was focused on encouraging conversations in communities about mental health, as it evolved, what became apparent was the fact that there needed to be a greater connection between communities and mental health service providers.
The project members are therefore keen to also involve service providers in this conversation, as they believe this is an opportunity for mutual learnings to take place.
The seminar will feature some of the founding members and actors involved in the production, who will share and reflect on their involvement, and on how the Me + Mental Health project is supporting conversations about mental health in the community.
