Arts
Mental health issues, such as addiction, remain a societal taboo, despite many high-profile celebrities, such as Elton John, Steven King and Daniel Ratcliffe to name but a few, bravely breaking their anonymity. This week we explore the role that storytelling plays in healing from addiction, and how art in general can play an essential holistic role in the recovery process. Sharing our stories can hopefully help to normalise the issues (that all too often) many of us still face in silence, afraid to share in case we are ostracised or unfairly judged.
