We Are the Sum of All Our Parts
In 2014, the trust got behind Emily Pearson's book launch: We Are the Sum of All Our Parts. Community and youth professionals teamed up with this 17-year old girl and spent three months creating an interactive performance on mental health issues covering autism, psychosis, depression, dissociative disorder, and schizophrenia. It was performed for the community at Mahurangi College and included poetry, song, dance and comedy all rooting from the heart and covering the theme of empowerment.
“It was a very humbling night listening to and watching a diverse group of people, all with a heartfelt, emotional, thought provoking stories to tell.”
“As a music therapist and writer, I work with children and teenagers who have a range of learning needs ranging from autism, down syndrome, and dyslexia, to mental health and disabilities. I was proud to be a part of the book launch and concert.”
