The Western Health & Social Care Trust (Western Trust) welcomed Derry City and Strabane District Council Mayor on her visit to the ‘Unheard Voices – The Reality of Addiction, Mental Health and Recovery’ exhibition at the Garden of Reflection in Derry earlier this week.
Dr Sharon McElroy, Consultant Lead Clinical Psychologist, Western Trust Alcohol and Drugs Service said: “Over 70 individuals have contributed their work to the exhibition, with collaboration from a range of services to ensure their voices, experiences and messages of hope and recovery were heard.
“These include the Western Trust Alcohol and Drugs Community Service, Asha Inpatient Unit, Action Mental Health Foyle, Fermanagh New Horizons, ARC Fitness, Ramona House, Voices, The Daisy Project and Northlands. The exhibitions were supported by Fermanagh and Omagh District Council and the Mayor of Derry/L’Derry.
“The exhibition has travelled throughout the Western Trust, being displayed in free, accessible venues to ensure as many people as possible had the opportunity to attend, engage with the work and hear the powerful messages of hope, recovery and resilience.
“Venues have included the Millennium Forum, Guildhall, Garden of Reflection, Strule Arts Centre and Enniskillen Castle.
“The exhibition highlights the power of lived experience, creativity and collaboration in challenging stigma, raising awareness of mental health and addiction, and inspiring hope for recovery.”
The final few days of the exhibition is being hosted in the Garden of Reflection, Derry from October 14-20 2026 from 10am-5pm and everyone is welcome to come along.
