- Authors
Bennett, Jill; Kenning, Gail; Gitau, Lydia; Moran, Rebecca; Wobcke, Marianne
- Abstract
Through a psychosocial lens, informed by relational psychoanalysis, this article discusses the design, delivery, and impact of The Big Anxiety's 2022 festival in Warwick, Queensland—an arts-based program that engages with lived experiences of trauma, distress, and suicide, and in this case with the devastating impact of youth suicide, disproportionately affecting First Nations communities. It describes the festival's methods of creative engagement, examining how these create conditions for the transformation of trauma and for experiences of growth.
