The project was implemented in Leader Lag PH during the 2014-2024 programming period.

Not all mental illness is diagnosed as stress-related problems, something that the project wanted to focus on and let people's own experiences be the focus.

About the project

The project was met with great interest from visitors and a great response from the people who were project participants.
