Artist's Statement:

Borderland Voices is an arts and mental health group based in the Staffordshire Moorlands. We deliver creative workshops to promote mental health in a variety of artforms and venues.

We try to bridge the gap between mental health and mental illness, believing that these are both part of the same continuum of human experience and that finding safe forms for the expression of experience is often the first step in the process of recovery. We believe that involvement in the creative arts within the context of a supportive group can contribute not only individual well- being but also perhaps to the recovery process of a wider society.
