Join social enterprise Happiness Initiative in this in-gallery programme of conversational card games that encourages constructive, honest conversations about mental health.
Based on cognitive behavioural therapy, Let’s Unpack This card game was designed to help identify deep-seated beliefs and how they affect our emotions and actions. These intimate in-gallery sessions facilitated by Happiness Initiative hope to unpack difficult emotions and reframe negative beliefs, with the aim of normalising conversations about mental health in our everyday interactions.
Complimentary to ticket holders of MENTAL: Colours of Wellbeing exhibition. Tickets can be purchased online here.

About MENTAL’s Closing Programmes (18 – 26 Feb)
As MENTAL: Colours of Wellbeing exhibition draws to a close, join us to explore notions of care, consider different methods of repair and healing, and learn empathy in ways that we are not otherwise used to.

MENTAL: Colours of Wellbeing offers different perspectives on mental health and wellbeing. It confronts societal bias and stereotypes, encouraging curiosity and connection with ourselves and others.
How are you? You know that it’s okay to feel what you are feeling, right?
Your feelings are unique and personal.
MENTAL: Colours of Wellbeing is not an exhibition about mental illness, treatments or cures. It is a welcoming place where you can confront societal bias and stereotypes around mental health. MENTAL invites you to embark on an intimate and personal journey that explores the many different ways of being, surviving and making connections, that have become of increasing importance to us all.
Experience how transparent colours can change your perception of space and reality, and construct your own sun goggles by overlapping coloured cellophane.
Make the most out of your visit and immerse yourself in our range of on-site guided tours that take you on a fascinating exploration of the Museum’s exhibitions. Same-day exhibition tickets will be required for all exhibition tours.
