The Dax Centre is a gallery space dedicated to working with artists with a lived experience of mental health, and generating discussion about the importance of creativity to mental wellbeing. This workshop is an opportunity for self-care and social connection, and not a therapy or treatment session. Please be advised that Laiken Jackson and The Dax Centre team are not art therapist or psychologists. We can connect you with support services where required.
