Mental Wealth

United Response started a photography project in 2005 called "Mental Wealth", in partnership with the award-winning charity PhotoVoice.

About the project

The idea of the project was to work with people to give them the skills they needed to use photography as a creative medium. The aim was to produce a set of images to communicate the reality of daily life from the perspective of a person with mental health needs.

The project produced a breath-taking wealth of images and testimonies. These show people's individual hopes, fears and achievements and are a compelling backdrop to current developments in mental health legislation.
