In this episode of 'Lively Minds,' Ellie discusses the importance of collective care and mental health through a conversation with artists: Charlie Fitz and Miss Jackie.
They explore how their artist collective, Triad, created during the Covid pandemic, became a vital support system for their well-being.
The shared experiences of disability and creativity fostered a unique bond among them, providing a space for emotional support, mutual understanding, and collective care.
They also offer insights on how others can cultivate similar supportive networks.
