Mental Wealth, UK

 

Over the last sessions many films were taken, pictures were mounted onto paper and captions were written that described pain, courage, hope, happiness and a willingness to say proudly, 'Yes, we have a mental health illness but we are no different to anyone else'. I was totally shocked at how a photograph in a person's hand would enable someone who finds public speaking impossible to stand in front of a group and speak confidently about their very personal fight with the illness that they have…
PhotoVoice, in my opinion, has made and can continue to make fundamental changes in people's lives.
