Creativity & Mental Health with Louize Carroll | GTF2021

Choosing to work in the arts and be a creative professional is choosing a life of adventure, unpredictability, fulfilment, risk and chaos. It is making an explicit effort to harness the electricity of living and by doing so, to uncover a deeper meaning.
But it is the unpredictability and the risk inherent in the arts, independent of a pandemic, that can at times, impact our wellbeing and our perceived ability to cope.
Join psychologist and musician Louize Carroll in a talk about creativity, vulnerability and how to better look after our mental health.
