City Lit Mental Wealth Festival Workshops hosted by SignHealth
We’re excited to be working with City Lit to bring you the Mental Wealth Festival, a space for deaf people to come together, learn something new, and focus on their wellbeing.
The festival offers a range of accessible workshops, activities and events designed to help you build confidence, connect with others, and support your mental health. Whether you want to try a new skill, meet new people, or take some time for yourself, there’s something for everyone.
At SignHealth and City Lit, we believe good mental wellbeing starts with feeling included, supported and connected. We hope you’ll join us to explore new ideas, share experiences and celebrate what helps us thrive.
Here are some of the free events you can book and join. We look forward to meeting you.
