A community of people reflecting and working upon their mental health and well-being.

In the middle of the pandemic, at a time where people are unable to meet their loved ones, go out for new experiences and make new connections, W_I_P was started as a way to connect people and for them to share about things impacting their mental well-being.

August 2020 - it’s been a learning journey. Lots of growth. More connections.

For everyone.

Self-reflection

Mutual respect for lived experiences

Realizing the commonalities in the experience of being a human being, especially in the pandemic crisis

A desire to grow

Introduction of all participants, explanation of the chosen mental-wellbeing topic (such as self-care, resilience, mental health for all) and reflective individual and group based activities, along with practical takeaways. We use games, art, doodling and movement-based activities, along with conversations to make it fun. Audio and video on is encouraged, but voluntary since the premise of the session is to make everyone feel comfortable to share and open up about their experiences.

Ensuring that it is a safe space for everyone to open up and talk freely, respecting that some may choose not to participate equally, being sensitive of chosen language, preferred pronouns and overall vocabulary.

Implementation of the skills spoken about, greater awareness to self, others and to themes discussed, better help seeking.
