First Breaths | Eileen Cooper RA, Dr Trudi Seneviratne OBE and more - Talk

Mother and Baby Units keep mothers with serious mental health episodes and their babies together whilst they recover. Can the arts allow people to re-imagine their futures during their most challenging moments?

Please join Hospital Rooms and a very special panel of speaker for an evening at Hauser & Wirth focused on the impact of art and creativity for people using perinatal mental health services. The talk will last approximately 45 minutes and be followed by a Q&A and a drinks reception in the gallery.

This talk is part of the Art + Mental Health series, organised by arts and mental health charity Hospital Rooms at Hauser & Wirth. These events celebrate a new landmark partnership between the two organisations that aims to raise over £1million to transfrom NHS mental health units over the next 3 years.

‘To have somebody come along and invite you to take part in a workshop and listen to you and talk to you as an equal, that really validates you as a human being.’
