The Fashion Debates tackles mental health in their next panel talk to be held at social enterprise The Trampery Republic. The evening is hosted by photographer JC Candanedo as part of the Creative Pioneers Programme at The Trampery and will explore the complex relationship between creativity and mental health.
Does the way the industry operates lead to mental health problems in its workers, or are creative people more pre-disposed to mental health problems? How can we look after ourselves and our colleagues better to ensure a healthier relationship with our work?
We’ll be discussing these issues and more with our expert panel followed by a chance to network with fellow professionals passionate about this topic. We look forward to welcoming you!
