Mind Waves is a peer led organisation, supporting people with lived experience of mental ill health to share their experiences and stories through creative methods. We use a mixture of socially engaged arts practice and digital engagement to help our participants build new skills, tend to their own wellbeing and challenge mental health stigma as part of a wider dialogue in terms of policy and public discourse. Our current projects are a weekly community jam sessions where people can express themselves through inclusive musical activities, an anti-stigma podcasting project, designed and produced by volunteers. We also have a partnership with Glasgow Association for Mental Health, running a weekly 'Creative Wellbeing' group for young people with mental health conditions.

Objectives: 4.1 To reduce stigma and discrimination of people with mental health problems by producing positive materials and resources that value and respect difference and promote inclusiveness within society. 4.2 To seek the relief of people who are disadvantaged due to the experience of poor mental health, by offering support and practical assistance around creating positive materials, resources and stories with the purpose of empowering people to find their voice.
