Welcome to the BEDLAM Arts and Mental Health Partnership – a celebration of the arts, mental health and wellbeing.
|
1 in 4 people in the UK experience a mental health problem each year. In England, 1 in 6 people experience a common mental health problem (such as anxiety or depression) each week. So whether you’ve experienced this, or know someone who has, you’re not alone. It’s vital to share your stories – and taking part in the arts is a natural way to do so.
In April 2024, the BEDLAM partnership were awarded £196,180 from the Inclusive Communities Fund to deliver the 2024 Arts and Mental Health programme.The BEDLAM Partnership comprises of Sampad, Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Midlands Arts Centre and The Red Earth Collective and the 2024 programme will culminate in a showcase in December. We hope that BEDLAM continues to reduce stigma, and encourages honest discussions around mental health – all with some fantastic performances. Whatever your age or background, there’s something for everyone. Follow the conversation online @BEDLAM_festival |
