Wellbeing in relationships at home

Art has proven to be playing a significant role in promoting wellbeing. Different researches conducted by the Mental Health Foundation are clearly showing that arts in general have many positive and beneficial effects on our physical and mental health.

The creative industries were among those who were heavily affected by the pandemic and the lockdown. Тhe effects of the lockdown, physical and mental, are yet to be considered, recognised and analysed. The growing fears of unemployment, the furlough system, the loss of what we as humans consider as normal life and social distancing are just some of the few issues that have a direct or indirect impact on our wellbeing and relations at home.

We’re looking for people to submit thought-provoking work that raise awareness about the problems and the benefits related to our wellbeing.

Topics can include:

Wellbeing in relationships at home;

Positives or negatives of spending more time with our family during lockdown;

Exercise at home and exploring the “great indoors”;

Domestic violence;

Fear of isolation and social distancing.
