One 2 Three
Patrick Sherring
Jess Cooper, Communications and event manager from Kintsugi Hope stated that the purpose of the charity is to make a difference to people’s mental well-being. Kintsugi is a Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with seams of gold. Jess gave a vision of communities where mental and emotional health is understood and accepted, where everyone can flourish. The charity is just five years old and has seen phenomenal growth. Pre-covid there were forty partner organisations. The number is now at 350. The charity works through well-being groups where a group leader leads members through a twelve-session programme. Themes covered include honesty, anxiety, depression, shame, anger, disappointment and loss, perfectionism, forgiveness, self-acceptance, healthy relationships and resilience. The programme has been adapted so it can also be used by student groups. The programme is based on the foundational experiences of Patrick Regan OBE and Diane Regan. The aim is no to judge, fix or rescue people, but to come alongside and love one another. Jess emphasised that there is no shame in struggling and we talk through that this is a reality in the life of everyone. At the moment the greatest need is to recruit more group leaders.
