SoundSational Community Choir and local singer-songwriter, Pat O’Neill, collaborated to develop an amazing version of ‘Don't Turn Away’ which is a song that Pat wrote several years ago about mental health stigma and recovery. The song was performed as part of the Scottish Mental Health Arts & Film Festival launch in October and since then at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall as well as the recent Lanarkshire Movement for Change event, Towards a Stigma Free Lanarkshire, in November. Pat and SoundSational also performed the song on STV Live on 20th December which you can see here.
The song is available for download on iTunes
SoundSational Community Choir, founded in 2010 by musician Tommy Chambers , is a not for profit community arts organisation that is all about using the arts to bring people together and encourage community cohesion and social inclusion.
1 in 4 of us will experience mental health problems at some stage in our life and many of us will know some who has, or has had mental health problems. But mental health remains a significant barrier to achieving a mentally flourishing Lanarkshire, preventing people seeking support, hindering recovery and limiting opportunity. It's not us and them - we all have mental health. It's I and we!!
