Exhibition: I am Someone

Date: Tuesday 14 to Tuesday 28 January 2025

Venue: 2 Royal Avenue

Category: 2 Royal Avenue, Arts and culture, Exhibition

This exhibition was created by clients of Action Mental Health and was inspired by the organisation’s 'I am Someone' campaign which aims to raise awareness of mental health issues in Northern Ireland.

At the heart of the campaign – which shares stories from Action Mental Health clients who have accessed support from our various services – is a message that, with the right intervention, recovery is possible.

With one in five adults experiencing mental health issues and one in eight children encountering emotional difficulties, it subsequently shows the human side of these statistics.

Lisburn and Belfast Action Mental Health clients from have created paintings to express their experiences. This programme was funded by The Arts Council of Northern Ireland’s National Lottery programme.

Newtownards and Downpatrick clients have also been exploring the '5 Steps to Wellbeing' framework through acrylic painting.

This exhibition gives the public an opportunity to see the outcomes and learn more about mental health recovery. This programme is funded by the Public Health Agency through the CLEAR Project.

This is a free event and you don't need to book.
