About Us
The Empathy & Hope Project is a social awareness initiative that includes multimedia art forms as vehicles to create dialogue and social change around mental health and wellbeing in our communities and environments.
The initiative has a strong focus on developing empathy towards those living with and affected by, mental health challenges and disorders, which curbs societal stigma.
Hope, as a teachable skill, is emphasised as a way to promote mental wellbeing.
