Steps of Hope Cork

For the month of September, Shine Cork’s exhibit 'Steps of Hope Cork' will be displayed on billboards across the city.  This is a collection of creative works by people who have experienced, or are on their journey to, mental health recovery.  The pieces of art and writing express messages and images of hope about something that many people think is not possible - living well with, and recovery from, severe mental health experiences.  Ireland has one of the highest rates of mental illness in Europe (ranked third out of 36 countries), with an estimated one in four people experiencing a mental health difficulty in their lifetime.  Corkonians, and visitors to the city, are encouraged to walk a 6km route (walking route map available) to view the exhibition.  For more details, visit: https://shine.ie/events/steps-of-hope
