Overview
"Illuminating Mental Health is a participatory art model that explores combating the stigma that surrounds mental health issues through a participatory art method called the "illuminated collage." This paper documents the research and design process of the Illuminating Mental Health workshop models, which use education, dialogue, and participatory artmaking in an effort to increase awareness and build knowledge about mental health, as well as to provide an entrypoint for having conversations about mental health. By bringing dialogue about mental health out of the shadows and into the light, this project seeks to normalize conversations about mental health, and to provide a collaborative, creative vehicle for identifying, expressing, and sharing feelings." -- Abstract
