The HeART & Soul program and exhibition first began in 2023, offering a creative outlet for participants accessing Richmind WA services and supporting them to channel energy and focus on their mental health recovery, culminating in an exhibition of their work and an open day for the community.

The HeART & Soul program invited people to connect, create and heal together through engaging and creative group activities.
