Mental Wealth exhibition

This online exhibition is of some images taken by people with mental health needs. Some of them show what it is like to have a mental health need. Others show the things that make life worth living.

We hope you will find the exhibition thought provoking and that the images challenge your perceptions of life for a person who has mental health needs.

Since taking part in "Mental Wealth", many people have continued their journey, including continuing photography training and building up confidence in every day life.

What now?

Following the success of this project we are looking for funding to roll out the project nationally so that more people can experience the power of photography for themselves.
