SPECIAL EVENT
Based on cognitive behavioural therapy, Let’s Unpack This card game was designed to help identify deep-seated beliefs and how they affect our emotions and actions. These intimate in-gallery sessions facilitated by Happiness Initiative hope to unpack difficult emotions and reframe negative beliefs, with the aim of normalising conversations about mental health in our everyday interactions.
Complimentary to ticket holders of MENTAL: Colours of Wellbeing exhibition. Tickets can be purchased online here.
