centres in counties Derry, Tyrone and Donegal in a new life promotion play, creative
writing and post-play discussions addressing suicide among young people,
particularly young men. I Belong Here is written and directed by Patrick Kearney
and performed by Jason Matthewson. The project has been lead funded by Electric Aid Ireland, Public Health Agency and the CLEAR Project. Projects 2006-2010: WordLand was a creative writing and spoken word project for young people exploring Ulster-Scots heritage and culture. It united young people through their commonly-shared experiences of self and place, promoted peace and reconciliation between communities, and provided new opportunities in learning. 200 young people attending schools and colleges in counties Derry, Tyrone and Donegal participated in workshops and exhibitions. WordLand was lead funded by the Ulster-Scots Agency, Derry City Council, Dungannon & South Tyrone Borough Council, and Donegal County Council. Wise In The Head comprised a new play and performance poetry written and directed by Patrick Kearney, performed by Patrick McBrearty (most promising young actor in Ulster 2010) and supported by 14 drama students from Holy Cross College Strabane. The project enabled young people to examine and discuss the effects of inappropriate language towards people experiencing mental health difficulties. The young people also identified effective ways to practically promote and sustain their positive mental health through assertiveness, good nutritional diet, exercise and rest. The project headlined the Royal College of Psychiatry’s annual awareness event for schools and colleges celebrating World Mental Health Day in Belfast, 08 October 2010. 400 people, including the Minister for Health, watched the play and poetry and warmly applauded their very important message. The project was funded by the Western Health Social Care Trust and the Royal College of Psychiatry.
