Over a period of six weeks Tangere Arts was commissioned to work with YIPPEE - a group of young people and young adults with direct experience of Mental Health issues, to create a piece of theatre to raise awareness around Mental Health Issues and to help to challenge the stigma attached. This piece (lasting approximately 30 minutes accompanied by a workshop) then toured schools, colleges, and community audiences. The piece was funded by Awards for All and managed by NHS Mental Health Services in Derby City.
