About Richmind WA’s HeART & Soul
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 program also involves a series of workshops, led by professional artists, where participants are encouraged to explore their emotions and experiences through painting, pottery, and poetry.
With over 100 participants and more than 300 artworks across our Perth and South West exhibitions each year, including residents, consumers, carers, family members, and staff, the program continues to grow.
As participants and staff share their stories and support each other on their recovery journeys, they have also been able to build relationships, foster social connections, and experience joy and artistic expression.
