Mental Health and the Arts

Finally, we revisit a moving discussion with Maria Fleming, CEO of Irish charity First Fortnight, which challenges mental health prejudice through arts and culture. In this podcast episode, Maria discusses the charity’s annual festival, the importance of mental health awareness, and the unique challenges faced by those in the arts sector. This episode is a reminder of the critical role the arts play in fostering social change and the need for self-care among cultural professionals.
