“Truth finds a way.” – Melanie Leahy
#NewScript activists were deeply inspired by this tireless campaigner for truth & justice.
From Essex to here, families face the same failures, the same denials, the same silence — but they won’t stop.
They’re rewriting the Script on Mental Health.
Community and creativity is at the heart of #NewScript activism, helping people find their voices again, after feeling let down and ignored by those in power.
Storytelling, without shame, stigma, or silencing, can become a real source of strength and solidarity.

#NewScript activists were delighted to join ME Support NI at their event on Friday!
Thanks to ME Support and Cllr Siobhan McCallin for the invite, and for the opportunity to bring our Travelling Apothecary along with us.
Great conversations and connections 💙
We can feel guilty for prioritising our needs. Societal messages can feed the need to ‘do more’ & measure our worth on that.
But together we can support each-other to know we do matter & remember that we can’t pour from an empty cup.
