FRAMEWORK AND INTENTION 

The 'Lived Experience' lens frames these collaborations to make mental health language accessible. The narrative practices framework suggests that perspectives shared through storytelling can allow us to witness society, its systemic repercussions on the self and mental health through a person's process of meaning-making. Collective meaning-making allow narratives to shift when an open canvas can act as a medium and voice to be woven into a larger picture. Through this collaboration, I hope to facilitate and co-create with you. 

​

The collaborations below bring this framework to life by co-creating conversations on what my collaborators feel drawn to. I rely on the values of the DTC methodology and narrative practices' guiding principles to ground the process in the culture of enquiry and free associative meaning-making.

WHY THIS COLLABORATION SERIES 

I began these collaborative series as a creative form of advocacy along with the intention to emphasise on the importance of the lived experience lens in unpacking mental health experience that require a gentle unfolding into their own unbecoming. I believe voices who know this experience from their own trial and error of navigating systemic challenges, preconceived biases and language that conditions how we think rather than be. I hope these collaborations provide space and curiosity to reflect and create.
