Training

Overall Aim of the Training
To raise awareness among museum and gallery staff of issues relating to mental health and social inclusion and support museum and gallery staff to promote social inclusion and work more effectively with people with mental health problems.

Participants are encouraged to acknowledge the enormous potential for recovery that people with experience of mental health problems have.

Many people with such problems feel isolated, discriminated against and excluded from what society has to offer. The arts have much to offer excluded people and there is evidence of excellent work initiated by museums and galleries.

The training package seeks to help museum and gallery staff to work more confidently with people with experience of mental health problems.
