Stepping Stone Theatre For Mental Health
ENHANCING WELL BEING THROUGH CREATIVITY
Stepping Stone Theatre was founded by Kate and Bill Rodgers as a platform to give people living with mental health challenges, a voice to share with others and tell others what it is like living with a mental illness. This is all done in a safe, non-judgmental, non-stigmatising way. Stepping Stone Theatre gives a voice to people who very often find it difficult to speak for themselves.

Stepping Stone Theatre In The Community

It's a great way to promote good mental community health and alleviate some day to day stresses.
Community Writing Workshops

Mental Health and Creativity
It has been proven that creative endeavours such as theatre and writing can help with the mental health journey and also help people on the recovery road. Stepping Stone Theatre For Mental Health whole heartedly supports this.
Every Day Well Being
"Try Something New Everyday. Painting, poetry or write a pop song or even just jot your thoughts in a journal. You will be surprised at the results"
Don't Be Alone
"Join a group, such as an art group or a writing group. You will be surprised how many people are going through exactly the same as you. Don't suffer in silence"
Practice self care
"Do something every day to help with your self care. Eat well, Sleep Well. Give yourself a reward for a job well done. Be kind to yourself. and respect your down time."
Kate and Bill Rodgers, co founders of Stepping Stone Theatre For Mental Health
"Tragedy will become Comedy with time"
“We all have mental health, we all have a voice and we are all creative. We must learn to encourage all three of those elements to work together and create a healing chord” -
