We know that traumatic experiences often play a role in poor mental health. Many of the Foundation’s grant-holders work in a trauma-informed way with that understanding.
In this session, we sought to highlight work of three amazing organisations and artists working in a more targeted way with populations more likely to experience symptoms of trauma and/or those who are diagnosed with or understand themselves to have PTSD.
They were:
- Alison O’Connor and Karin Diamond: Re-Live theatre company, Cardiff, who were joined by Graham Matthews, a participant in one of Re-Live’s projects for veterans
- Róman Baca, Exit12 Dance Company, Bravo 22 Company
- Kevin Turner, Company Chameleon, Manchester
This conversation started with this blog in 2021 which features a number of other organisations working in this area, particularly veterans’ arts.
