We had a great time yesterday working with an amazing group of inspiring and talented people who are all members of a support group for LGBT+ refugees and asylum seekers living in the Coventry area.

Our friends put together a creative workshop exploring identity and well-being with much singing, rapping and poetry and even a little bit of dancing.

The workshop was part of our on-going community programme inspired by Revealed, a play about black men, mental-health, family, sexuality and a whole lot more, which has just finishes a succesful run at The Belgrade.

We have been working with Lottie and Adel at the theatre and Rachael .mind to produce a programme of events and workshops, with local communities, that get us all talking and sharing stories about mental health and well-being in creative ways.

Look out for details of upcoming events, including our 2nd Black Men on the Couch event, here and an our website.
