Moyo Health and Community Services Presents: Theatre for Positive Mental Health

Rehearsing and reconstructing a positive self-identity through storytelling for African, Caribbean and Black Communities in the Peel Region

Art therapy has long been used to alleviate mental health challenges. Participatory arts for people experiencing mental health concerns allows participants to play out scenes from their everyday life and reflect on the social construction of their realities.

Over the course of 8 weekly sessions, folks will participate in discussions and develop stories, narratives and monologues that touch on the unique determinants of health that impact Black folks. The group sessions that involve participatory theatre will be used to promote healthy lifestyles, emotional resilience and coping skills among the Black adult and youth.
