Painting from Alex display

Silver has found the perception of people with mental health issues is low. Even among
those who are meant to be helping them.

So as part of the art and drama therapy put on by 42nd Street in Manchester, Silver
and others used what they knew to teach those who should be helping them.

The art work is in a gallery in 42nd Street and the drama has toured the country.
He has found people need challenging about their opinions of those with mental health
issues.

Silver's experiences with suffering from mental health problems have eventually turned him into a new person; literally. In his eyes, the person he once was is a distant memory.
