CPD – Mental Health & Design for Wellbeing

CPD – MENTAL HEALTH & DESIGN FOR WELLBEING

COVID-19 has visibly impacted how we view our world – from witnessing empty cities to ghostly airports. What is less visible but has really emerged into the forefront of the public’s consciousness is the impact that Mental Health plays in our overall sense of Well-being. Lockdowns have also revealed the deep connection between our mental-health and our surroundings.

In this event, we would like to explore multiple facets of well-being

• A discussion of various mental health issues faced by creative professionals and strategies to improve one’s own sense of well-being
• How the spaces we live / work in impact our well-being and what we can do to improve them
• What to consider when trying to design future spaces in our projects that will improve well-being
